This book analyzes the experiences of women living and working
across the busiest and most transited frontier in South America,
the Parana Tri-Border Area (TBA), between Argentina, Brazil, and
Paraguay. From a feminist approach, it shows how, in these
territories, the gender violence is intensified, configuring an
expression of ultra-intensity patriarchy. Based on ethnographic
fieldwork conducted for two years along with Paraguayan women
living and working between Ciudad del Este (Paraguay), and Foz de
Iguazu (Brazil), the authors analyze, on the one hand, the
intricate connection between gender violence and ethnicity on these
borders; and, on the other hand, the persistence of a female care
that appears to offer a fundamental tool of resistance, of vital
female drive. The work is divided into three parts. The first is
intended to read like a trip to this complex and fascinating corner
of South America through a visual and ethnohistoric journey of the
region, as well as a theoretical debate that defines gender
violence and its particular condensation on border territories. The
second part explores the women's stories in-depth and follow the
narrative thread of their biographies, rebuilding their experiences
from their families of origin to their productive insertion on the
TBA. Finally, the third part takes an in-depth look at the complex
links between the social reproduction obligations that fall on
women, and the gender violence on the TBA, stressing how they
develop strategies to change their life conditions by establishing
transborder circuits of care. Ultra-Intensity Patriarchy: Care and
Gender Violence on the Parana Tri-Border Area will be a valuable
tool for researchers from different disciplines, such as
anthropology, sociology, population studies and gender studies,
interested in the growing field of studies of feminism, borders,
and migration from an intersectional perspective.
