Resumen de Des sistemas de cargos au 69e Forum de l’Assemblée Général des Nations Unies (ONU). Les expériences vécues des femmes autochtones, une perspective décoloniale de la diplomatie internationale
This article compares the life and work of Sofía Robles Hernández, a Zapotecan activist, with the experience of Eufrosina Cruz Mendoza, a zapotecan woman, focusing on their struggle for social and political recognition in the transnational movement of indigenous people. The article reflects on both women’s autoethnographic analyses in order to shed light on their political and ethical tensions and challenges. The latter originate the formation of a “body-territory” that, voicing the two women’s claim to autonomy and selfdetermination, brings to the fore their different approaches to the economic policies of the neoliberal Pluricultural State of Mexico. The article also focuses on the indigenous women’s struggle for political rights within the international juridical discourse. After many years, in fact, a diplomatic agenda now addresses the right of indigenous women to fight for decolonization.Keywords: U.N.; Indigenous Women; Economic Inequality; International Diplomacy; Transnational Autonomy
