Abstract
This article examines Rosario Cruz-Lucero’s Feast and Famine: Stories of Negros, focusing on its reconstruction of the indigenous anticolonial lifeworld through the portrayal of female figures as embodiments of folk consciousness. These women serve as cultural and spiritual anchors— conduits of ancestral knowledge who sustain community ties to land, memory, and resistance. As agents of subjugated epistemologies, they mediate indigenous and peasant lifeworlds that challenge the epistemic violence of colonialism and the disruptions of capitalist modernity.
