Mulheres indígenas da Amazônia e política: análises a partir de 2018

Abstract

This dissertation aims to understand what the view of indigenous women is participating in electoral elections about their participation within the field of electoral dispute, with regard to the relations and effects on party politics, on indigenous movements, on their subjectivity and their personal and family relationships. For this, my analysis is based on the narratives of two indigenous women who were candidates in the 2018 electoral process, Sônia Guajajara and Tatiane Picanço, drawing attention to their trajectories in a personal, professional, and militant dimension and, notably, in the intertwining such aspects. My specific objectives were based on analyzing the relationship of candidate indigenous women with their communities; describe what are the barriers and challenges that these women experience when entering this field of action and dispute; collect more detailed data on this electoral process, as a way of inserting the surveyed indigenous people within a broader context.
