- W2597558369 abstract "The Life Stories Workshop is important to me because it opens a door to an unknown world that must be considered to eliminate the inequalities we experience in our country. It is also a way to sensitize the hearts in order to create a sisterhood within women of different social classes. In my small space in the female prison area, where different minds, customs and certainties of women inhabit, it is interesting to join our voices and outline life histories, liberating them from this place and making the outside world to know and think about the reality we live in here. This workshop will help achieve women's unity on a shared common goal. It is a way towards mutual support as spokespersons of real stories. Personally, it has allowed me to live a new experience in the world of writing, and feel proud for supporting those who have been silent for too long. My writing will serve those who wish to tell their story. For illiterate women, this workshop has been a means to liberate their story, to unburden themselves on a receptive ear and recover the courage to be a woman that society took away from them. --Testimony of an inmate in the penitentiary newspaper ?Y ahora que sigue? (2008,3) IN THIS ARTICLE I WANT TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCE WORKING AS AN ACADEMIC AND activist in penitentiary spaces in Mexico, with indigenous and mestiza women who are victims of a penal state that criminalizes poverty and social protest. (1) I arrived at the CERESO (2) female penitentiary in Atlacholoaya, Morelos, in 2008, thinking that my anthropological research concerning the Mexican justice system might have something to contribute to improved access to justice for women; I did not imagine the ways in which the reflections and experiences of these women would change my life. Through this experience, I have been able to witness the importance of oral history as a tool of feminist reflection and as a strategy for the destabilization of colonial, racist, and sexist discourses. Although feminist theorists have written widely about the importance of recovering the history of everyday life and of paying attention to women's experiences as expressed in oral history (see Diane Wolf 1996; Reinharz 1992), I could not have imagined how the reconstruction of individual histories could function to create sisterhood among diverse groups of women and to write a counter-history that would reveal how the coloniality of power excludes indigenous peasant women from access to justice. In this context, oral history ceases to be a methodological tool of the researcher and instead becomes a means for collective reflection through which the naturalization of difference becomes destabilized. The testimonies that women shared in their writing uncovered the way in which race and class hierarchies marked inmates ' distinct paths of exclusion from access to justice. Contrasting experiences between indigenous and non-indigenous women, between peasants, workers, and professionals, and between homosexuals and heterosexuals has made evident the hierarchies that structure the justice system in Mexico and society as a whole. With the purpose of cultivating ethnographic intimacy within the penitentiary space, I decided to work in what is locally known as the Female CERESO of Atlacholoaya, documenting the life histories of the indigenous female prisoners in this center. (3) At the onset of my research about indigenous women's access to justice, I developed an interest in using collaborative methodologies within the prison, something which implied new challenges for me because it did not involve working with already organized women fighting for social justice, as I have done in the past (see Hernandez Castillo 2008), nor accompanying organizational processes in which I was a participant. One option might have been to approach a human rights or women's rights organization that might have wished to participate in our research team's project. (4) However, collaboration arrived through another route. …" @default.
