How do people seek security in relation to their sense of 'who they
are'? How can one make sense of insecurity at the intersection of
competing identity claims? Based on the voices of Mayan women,
Stern critically re-considers the connections between security,
subjectivity and identity. By engaging in a careful reading of how
Mayan women 'speak' security in relation to the different contexts
that inform their lives, she explores the multiplicity of both
identity and security, and questions the main story of security
imbedded in the modern 'paradox of sovereignty.' Her provocative
analysis thus raises vital questions about what might constitute
'security', and the 'insecurity' that is its inevitable supplement.
Her study also offers an innovative methodology that bridges many
different disciplines and substantively develops the method of
'reading' politics as a 'textual practice'. It will be essential
reading for students of security, identity politics, feminism, and
Latin American studies. -- .
