This article examines the extent to which mainstreaming intersectionality in the Colombian Truth Commission (CEV) serves the feminist aim of producing social transformations by exposing patriarchal, racialized and class-based structures of oppression. Analysing the mainstreaming of intersectionality as a site of struggle exposes the interlocking dynamics of inequality and ontological impositions that block Indigenous and Afro-descendant women’s full participation at the CEV. Ongoing dialogues with five Indigenous and/or Afro-descendant Colombian activists centrally inform this analysis. All the activists utilize the gender, woman, family and generation approach, which is anchored in the shared cosmological reference points of Indigenous and Afro-descendant women. The peril of mainstreaming intersectionality appears when it is used in a shallow manner that severs a structural intersectional analysis from a political intersectional analysis. The promise of intersectionality can only be realized through a holistic understanding and application of both its structural and political dimensions.

在哥伦比亚和平进程中将交叉性纳入主流的承诺和危险

本文探讨了哥伦比亚真相委员会 (CEV) 中的主流化交叉性在多大程度上通过揭露父权制、种族化和基于阶级的压迫结构来实现产生社会变革的女权主义目标。分析作为斗争场所的交叉性主流化揭示了阻碍土著和非洲裔妇女充分参与 CEV 的不平等和本体论强加的相互关联的动态。与五名土著和/或非洲裔哥伦比亚活动家的持续对话为这一分析提供了核心信息。所有的活动家都采用性​​别、女性、家庭和世代的方法，这种方法以土著和非洲裔女性的共同宇宙学参考点为基础。当以一种肤浅的方式使用交叉性主流化，将结构性交叉分析与政治交叉分析分开时，就会出现将其纳入主流的危险。交叉性的承诺只能通过对其结构和政治维度的整体理解和应用来实现。
