Nancy Fraser’s theoretical critique of feminism’s unintended facilitation of neoliberal capitalism discusses the reproduction of poverty at the grassroots among Indigenous women. This article situates the discussion in gendered colonialism to show the ways that microfinance is actually a form of structured colonization and gender oppression. The authors argue that neither the emerging literature on microfinance nor Nancy Fraser’s theory provides Indigenous women a practical way out of the existing oppressive structures of microfinance practice. Rather, they suggest that these ideas are better understood through talking circle conversations with local Indigenous women food producers in Ghana. Through conversations, the authors learned about how these women are actively decolonizing and indigenizing microfinance and what Corntassel has described as everyday acts of resurgence and renewal within native communities. The authors reason that racialized, capitalist, gender oppression can be overcome by decolonial feminism.

非殖民化小额信贷:一种将宏观借方转变为小额信贷的本土女权主义方法

南希·弗雷泽 (Nancy Fraser) 对女权主义无意中助长新自由主义资本主义的理论批判讨论了土著妇女基层贫困的再生产。本文将讨论置于性别殖民主义中,以表明小额信贷实际上是一种结构化殖民化和性别压迫的形式。作者认为,关于小额信贷的新兴文献和南希·弗雷泽的理论都没有为土著妇女提供一条摆脱现有小额信贷实践压迫结构的实用方法。相反,他们建议通过与加纳当地土著女性食品生产商的谈话圈对话更好地理解这些想法。通过对话,作者了解到这些妇女如何积极地对小额信贷进行非殖民化和本土化,以及 Corntassel 将其描述为本土社区内复兴和更新的日常行为。作者认为,去殖民化的女权主义可以克服种族化的、资本主义的、性别压迫。
