It is clear that Postcolonial Feminism or the ‘Third World feminism’ originated as a critique of mainstreams in the Western feminist theorists… But I asking myself this question for a chapter in my thesis entitled 'approaches of postcolonial feminism'
Decolonial feminism has many contributions, but the main difference with other feminisms is the conceptualization of gender as a colonial invention, in the same terms as race. I recommend the papers of María Lugones, Yuderkys Espinosa and Ochy Curiel about this topic.
La decolonialidad cuando se reflexiona desde la colonialidad del ser (Nelson Maldonado Torres) y desde las explicaciones sobre la negritud de Fanon, abre nuevos horizontes de reflexión , y el feminismo no es la excepción. En los pueblos originarios americanos ser mujer en definitiva no conlleva el estigma derivado del pensamiento occidental, por tanto el género visto desde la idea de raza es muy atiendo.
Maybe "Coloniality of Gender and Power: From Postcoloniality to Decoloniality" by Breny Mendoza could be a useful text. Its included in The Oxford Handbook of Feminist Theory (edited by Lisa Disch and Mary Hawkesworth).
