Abstract

This chapter examines the violence that impacts racialized women in Colombia and Indonesia by expanding extractive capital from a perspective of decolonial feminisms. This perspective allows us to examine extractive violence from the juncture of coloniality and patriarchy. To analyze this violence, the chapter focuses on three dimensions of violence, namely, physical, economic, and epistemic. It shows that extractive capital corresponds to a systematic organization of violence that acquires distinctive features when impacting women and sheds light on three of the most significant sites of violence of our times: indigenous people, women, and nature.
