LIFE STORIES OF INDIGENOUS WOMEN IN CHIAPAS. COMMITMENTS OF THE INVESTIGATOR

This article suggests that those conducting research with indigenous women face a number of questions that disrupt their assumed role as researchers, leading them to assume a number of commitments to their research, to the people who they investigate and to themselves. Approaches are recovered from interdisciplinary fields of knowledge, such as Cultural, Gender and Postcolonial Studies to undertake research from an interpretive tradition in which those investigating commit to the decolonization of knowledge, the construction of a new narrative and personal transformation.
