Document Summary
Ada mar a isasi-d az (cid:862)mujerista theology: a challenge to traditional theology(cid:863) Diaz address her paper to 3 main audiences; the church, other scholars, and latinas. Diaz points out that latinas are often left out of white feminist discourse, which causes isolation within the community. The voices of latinas are being ignored and mujerista creates a community to empower each other and allow the voices of latinas to be heard. An additional problem that latinas face is that they are silenced and oppressed by the church due to the power structures within it as well as the church"s failure to recognize the harm it is causing. In order to fix the oppressive structures that are harmful to latinas we need to acknowledge the differences others have and embrace them. Creating the mujerista term and ideology allows for. Latina women to give themselves a name and create an identity.
