Resumen

La perspectiva de subsistencia ecofeminista surge tras años de trabajo de campo feminista y elaboración teórica, centrándose en las mujeres como productoras de vida. Se describe como una llamada a la conciencia para reorganizar las sociedades y renegociar las desigualdades globales. Se ha demostrado la necesidad de su implementación mediante las actuales apropiaciones de tierras internacionales y sus efectos perjudiciales sobre la vida de las mujeres, el saber y el poder local. Las novelas de las escritoras Buchi Emecheta, Leslie Marmon Silko, Ana Castillo, Toni Morrison, Patricia Grace y Mahasweta Devi se han analizado con el fin de demostrar los retos a los que se enfrentan las mujeres y sus esfuerzos para abordar esos desafíos por medio de diversas ejemplificaciones de la perspectiva de subsistencia con distintos grados de éxito y represión.
