Microhistories of the Diaspora intends to create a space that permits us to question, to reconsider and to listen from a common epistemology: that of racialized, migrant women, but also that of «those who stay put», all those who dissent from hegemonic narratives and from their discriminatory, static subaltern condition through their activists' stories, their gnosiologies of Southern identities, their literary voices, their self-referential and artistic wisdoms. The women in this project want to understand the impact of economic, political, cultural and psychic processes in the everyday life of each subject. They also describe their own experience inside these multiple intersections, through fruitful dialogues in multiple perspectives and analytic structures.
