This book examines the roots of systemic aggression against women
in contemporary Mexico, and the connection between social practices
and the institutional permissiveness of the Mexican State with
regard to gendered violence. Since the democratic transition at the
end of the 1990s, Mexico has registered an increase in the
intensity and types of violence that have made life in some regions
almost unsustainable. The chapters in this volume consider that
capitalism, colonialism and patriarchy are interrelated processes
that employ the technologies of gender and race as a continuation
of the symbolic hegemony that treats feminized and racialized
bodies as disposable. Against this background, it becomes necessary
to understand from different dimensions the systemic violence
against women as well as the processes of articulation between
social practices and the permissiveness of the State in the face of
aggression. Gender-Based Violence in Mexico mobilizes a dialogue
between writings, fields of knowledge, causes and situations as
essential tools for the struggle against gender violence. As a
situated work that underlines the systematic roots of the violence
that keeps women in subaltern positions, the text seeks an
insurrection, an uprising of the bodies that invite naming the
abject, peripheral and unseen populations of the project of
globalized life, woven by the obsession of success and prestige. It
presents a counter-conclusion in the manner of a beginning in the
desire to elaborate counter-political and counter-pedagogical
strategies of non-coercive experiences, where questions and debates
are not a sign of belligerence but of vitality and care for the
body-territories. Gender-Based Violence in Mexico will appeal to
scholars of sociology, criminology, gender and Latin American
studies with interests in gendered violence and injustice.
