The end of the Pinochet regime in Chile saw the emergence of an
organized feminist movement that influenced legal and social
responses to gender-based violence, and with it new laws and
avenues for reporting violence that never before existed. What
emerged were grassroots women's rights organizations, challenging
and engaging the government and NGOs to confront long-ignored
problems in responding to marginalized victims.
In "Traumatic States," anthropologist Nia Parson explores the
development of methods of care and recovery from domestic violence.
She interviews and contextualizes the lives of numerous individuals
who have confronted these acts, as victims, authorities, and
activists. Ultimately, "Traumatic States" argues that facing the
challenges of healing both body and mind, and addressing the
fundamental inequalities that make those challenges even more
formidable, are part of the same battle.
