Summary

The exclusion of women's voices and perspectives has male-gender biased and diminished academic disciplines in important ways.

Karen J. Warren (1947-)

An Unconventional History of Western Philosophy, p. 1

Entre 2008 y 2014 diversos países de América Latina estarán festejando el bicenterario de sus Guerras de Independencia. En el 2010, en México, además de conmemorarse la Independencia de España, hubieron diversos eventos en memoria del centenario de la primera gran revolución social del siglo XX: la Revolución Mexicana. Mi intención es honrar no sólo la memoria de todos aquellos y aquellas que vivieron, gozaron y sufrieron durante esos treinta largos y sangrientos años (1910–1940), sino, en particular, la de mis abuelas, quienes representan la heterogeneidad y el mestizaje racial y cultural de nuestro continente.

Por el lado de mi familia paterna, la unión de una criolla tica con un irlandés-estadounidense, y por el lado de mi familia materna, la unión de indios y españoles. Otorgo una especial mención a mi abuela materna, Irene San Vicente Rodríguez, quien fue testigo infantil de la Revolución, y pasó parte de su infancia viajando y viviendo en los ferrocarriles que representaron el arribo de México a la llamada modernidad. Irónicamente, esos mismos trenes se convirtieron, precisamente, en uno de los principales vehículos de quienes se rebelaron contra ese modelo homogeneizador de modernidad que se ha tratado de implantar en México, a costa de su identidad multicultural y básicamente heterogénea.
