This is a collection of eleven chapters and an introduction that develop key arguments in decolonial feminism, particularly, the coloniality of gender, the critique of white and Eurocentric feminisms, the imbrication between gender, race, and colonialism, feminicides, and the coloniality of democracy and public institutions. The introduction addresses the path of decolonial feminism: from a new approach to understanding the relationship between gender as a category, race, and colonialism that combined U.S. Third World feminism and scholarship on coloniality and decoloniality to its exponential growth in the hands of activists and engaged scholars from Latin America and the Caribbean. Today, much of the literature on decolonial feminism in Latin America and the Caribbean remains unknown in the U.S. This anthology seeks to start remedying this problem with seven translations of work originally written in Spanish, and three essays originally written in English that address the fundamental concepts of decolonial feminism as well as its contributions to important contemporary political and intellectual debates.

Decolonial Feminism in Abya Yala: Caribbean, Meso, and South American Contributions and Challenges provides a robust framework. As editors Yuderkys Espinosa-Miñoso, Lugones, and Nelson Maldonado-Torres write, the volume offers “a glimpse into a rich variety of approaches, voices, questions, and contributions that are part of Latin American, Caribbean, and Latinx decolonial feminism...." [This book] has the potential to catalyze solidarity beyond borders, illustrating the possibilities of what the editors call “the world that we want and to which we belong.”
