Silver Veins, Dusty Lungs
In Mexico environmental struggles have been fought since the nineteenth century in such places as Zacatecas, where United States and European mining interests have come into open conflict with rural and city residents over water access, environmental health concerns, and disease compensation. In Silver Veins, Dusty Lungs, Rocio Gomez examines the detrimental effects of the silver mining industry on water resources and public health in the city of Zacatecas and argues that the human labor necessary to the mining industry made the worker and the mine inseparable through the land, water, and air. Tensions arose between farmers and the mining industry over water access while the city struggled with mudslides, droughts, and water source contamination. Silicosis-tuberculosis, along with accidents caused by mining technologies like jackhammers and ore-crushers, debilitated scores of miners. By emphasizing the perspective of water and public health, Gomez illustrates that the human body and the environment are not separate entities but rather in a state of constant interaction.
Violencias contra las mujeres. Una problemática de carácter estructural en México
El libro es un espacio de reflexión colectiva donde se profundiza de manera crítica, teórica y metodológica en la temática de las violencias contra las mujeres puesto que es un tópico relevante para el entendimiento de los procesos sociales y culturales que han permitido la permeación en las sociedades de los sistemas políticos que vulneran la integridad física y emocional de las mujeres en diferentes ámbitos de la vida en sociedad.

Ello busca perturbar los juicios personales que poseen las y los individuos acerca de las realidades sociales en las que se ubican para deleitarse de aspectos bellos de las composiciones o con el fin de producir diversas sensaciones en torno a las dinámicas actuales de las sociedades.
