Fieldnotes from Mexico
This experimental monograph is a portrayal of contemporary Mexican activism, written to voice activists' experiences and perspectives when protesting state, criminal, and capitalist violence. It consists of edited fieldnotes about Mexican activist movements involved in the "indignation for Ayotzinapa," which was a popular uprising protesting state violence. The book covers a period of 18 months during 2014-15, and a short field stay in October to November in 2022. It is told through (i) short biographies of activists, (ii) transcribed speeches, interviews, protest songs and slogans, and (iii) commemorative stories written in first person as if told by Mexico's many missing people as retold by their surviving family and memorized at a memorial site in Mexico City.
Defending Memory in Global Politics
This book explores the securitization of memory in times of crisis using overlooked cases from the Global South and the Global North. Instead of focusing exclusively on national identities and state actors, it explores various identities, including substate and transnational actors, and their role in “defending memory” during times of crisis. Embracing a broad definition of conflict that includes mnemonic, societal and armed conflicts, the expert contributors engage with political trauma, demonstrating its power to evoke commemorations and other shared practices of collective remembrance, shaping and perpetuating collective memory, the construction of national and transnational identities, national interests and foreign policy behaviors. The book contributes to the fields of memory and trauma studies and ontological security in international relations. It will also be of interest to scholars and students of political science, sociology, international relations, history, nationalism and identity, international studies, cultural geography, social psychology, cultural studies and anthropology.
Mexico's Rebellious Afterlives
Mexico's Rebellious Afterlives: Armed Uprisings and Activism in the Narco War examines nonviolent activism and armed uprisings in the narco war. Olof Kjell Oscar Ohlson argues that relatives of Mexico’s many victims of violence, often without earlier experiences of human rights advocacy, become activists protesting violence or form self-armed citizens’ police to resist state, capitalist, and criminal violence. Ohlson develops innovative theories on political afterlives and rituals of rebellion, demonstrating how political street protests transform over time to become annual commemorative events at new memorial sites for the disappeared.

Unsettling Agribusiness
In the last half century Brazil’s rural economy has developed profitable soy and sugarcane plantations, causing mass displacement of rural inhabitants, deforestation, casualization of labor, and reorganization of politics. Since the early 2000s Indigenous peoples have protested the taking of their land and transformed terms provided by state institutions, NGOs, agribusiness firms, and myriad local middlemen toward their material survival, leading to significant violence from third-party security forces. Guarani protestors have confronted these armed security forces through a form of life-or-death political theater and spectacle on the sides of highways, while squatters have viscerally dist...
Crossing Borders, Claiming a Nation
In Crossing Borders, Claiming a Nation, Sandra McGee Deutsch brings to light the powerful presence and influence of Jewish women in Argentina. The country has the largest Jewish community in Latin America and the third largest in the Western Hemisphere as a result of large-scale migration of Jewish people from European and Mediterranean countries from the 1880s through the Second World War. During this period, Argentina experienced multiple waves of political and cultural change, including liberalism, nacionalismo, and Peronism. Although Argentine liberalism stressed universal secular education, immigration, and individual mobility and freedom, women were denied basic citizenship rights, and...
Sangue, identidade e verdade
O livro analisa as disputas que envolvem a consolidação de uma memória pública sobre o passado ditatorial no espaço nacional argentino. Baseando-se em etnografia sobre o campo de ativismo dos familiares de desaparecidos da ditadura militar argentina, a obra examina como, ancorados nas relações de parentesco com as vítimas da repressão, esses familiares atribuem sentido às suas experiências e identidades, ao passo que encontram legitimidade social para suas demandas e ações políticas. De uma perspectiva processual da cultura, o trabalho explora como noções sobre política, parentesco, sangue, identidade e verdade atravessam os embates pelas memórias da ditadura na Argentina.
Gendering Antifascism
Argentine women’s long resistance to extreme rightists, tyranny, and militarism culminated in the Junta de la Victoria, or Victory Board, a group that organized in the aftermath of the German invasion of the Soviet Union in defiance of the neutralist and Axis-leaning government in Argentina. A sewing and knitting group that provided garments and supplies for the Allied armies in World War II, the Junta de la Victoria was a politically minded association that mobilized women in the fight against fascism. Without explicitly characterizing itself as feminist, the organization promoted women’s political rights and visibility and attracted forty-five thousand members. The Junta ushered diverse constituencies of Argentine women into political involvement in an unprecedented experiment in pluralism, coalition-building, and political struggle. Sandra McGee Deutsch uses this internationally minded but local group to examine larger questions surrounding the global conflict between democracy and fascism.
Formar docentes para la equidad
¿Las instituciones que reproducen circuitos de inequidad en el acceso al conocimiento pueden formar docentes para la equidad? Este libro presenta once estudios que tienen por objetivo identificar prácticas pedagógicas e institucionales que amplían las condiciones de la equidad en el acceso al conocimiento en la educación superior.
