Transforming Gender Roles İn The Colonial Andes Native Andean Female Resistance To Colonial Spanish Constructs Of Gender Hierarchy
Abstract
This research is intended as a gendered
investigation into the native Andean woman’s
experience under Spanish colonialism. This
gendered colonial perspective is aimed at
analyzing the ways in which resistance efforts
undertaken by native Andean women in
response to colonial gender hierarchies
contributed to the greater cultural preservation
efforts of the Andean people. While this region
certainly includes native women of the
conquered Inca Empire, particularly those in
Peru and Bolivia, it is by no means exclusive
to this civilization. Native women of diverse
ethnic and cultural groups in the Andes, some
of which remained unincorporated by the Inca
at the time of the Spanish conquest, will also
be included, as their colonial experiences are
equally valuable to a cohesive understanding
of women’s roles under the Spanish empire.
