Abstract

Scholarship on gender, politics, and the state in Latin America has focused on the role of gender ideologies in creating and maintaining political power and authority, and the role of states in creating and reproducing intersecting hierarchies of gender, race, and class through its institutions and practices as well as through law and public policy. Research has challenged traditional accounts of Latin American politics and state development beginning with the process of colonization through the current neoliberal democratic era.
