Abstract:

Drawing from the testimonies of life by Angelina, Nevis, and Denilsa —three Afro-descendent peasant women living in Montes de María, this article explores how spaces of peace and life are being built as forms of resistance face to looting and violence deployed on their territories (bodies, land, water), through artifacts, such as war and oil palm monocultures. From an ethno-politological approach, this article brings some insight of politics from other horizons, that is, from daily practices that are producing other spaces of power, that is, an altergeography of power, woven from resistance.

Keywords: altergeography of power, Afro-peasant feminisms, looting, re-existence, bogy, land, water.
