Abstract

URIONA CRESPO, Pilar. Indigenous women, legal systems and interlegality. Tinkazos [online]. 2010, vol.13, n.28, pp.53-63. ISSN 1990-7451.

In this article, considering the concept of legal pluralism and interlegality, the author challenges the view that describes indigenous and rural community justice as a positive expression that places tradition and modernity, custom and law, writing and orality in opposition, without taking account of the complex interaction and hierarchical relations of gender-based power that cut across conflict management and resolution in multicultural contexts.

Keywords : indigenous women; interlegality; legal pluralism; indigenous and rural community justice; judicial system; jurisdiction; judicial reform; conflict management.
