Mulheres latino-americanas no exilio. Universalidade e especificidade de suas experiências

Abstract

The main objective of this article is to understand the experience of exiled women through the analysis of the process they underwent in the period they lived outside their home country. If men and women did undergo many similar experiences in exile, the personal experiences particular to each gender make their members attribute a different sense to those common processes. These processes put simultaneously into evidence the relationship that exists between the universal elements that characterize women’s experience in exile, the feminine specificity throughout the “transculturation” process and the consequent diversity of women trajectories in the exile situation
