Sumario:In this article we approach the processes of displacement and resistance of the Saharawi and Kurdish peoples, taking the role of women in them as the main axis. We will address these cases from the perspective of gender studies and feminist anthropology in articulation with critical theories to colonialism. In the reformulations of national histories produced by these persists the invisibilization of women's voices as before Spivak (1985) rightly stated. The concept of intersectionality (Crenshaw 2012) enriches the analysis and increases the value of the experiences proposed to analyze, Kurdish and Saharawi women. How are gender and ethnic-national identities articulated in these contexts of resistance to the various colonial powers? To reflect on this question, we will organize the text into three moments. First, we will systematize the theoretical-methodological perspective of feminist anthropology, then we will present its intersections around the critical theories of colonialism, to finally delve into the problematization of the selected cases.
