UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI INTER-AMERICAN LAW REVIEW

The article describes Critical Race Feminism, a new offshoot of both Critical Race theory and feminism. The author applies a Critical Race Feminist analysis to the raping of Bosnian women and introduces the concept of "spirit injury". She also discusses how the concept of spirit injury might be used in the Latin American context. Critical Race Feminist principles are utilized to examine the situation of Palestinian women. The author explores the multiple levels of discrimination they face on the basis of custom, religion and gender.

This article discusses the LatCrit movement (which focuses on the Latino and Latina experience and borrows its analytical framework from Critical Race Theory) transnational identity and the declining role of state sovereignty in international law. LatCrit's theoretical perspectives are applied to international law, processes, relations, and institutions. A link is made between LatCrit theory and international law by emphasizing anti-subordination principles.
