Latina Activists across Borders
Over the past twenty-five years, nongovernment organizations (NGOs) run by women and devoted to advancing women’s well-being have proliferated in Mexico and along both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. In this sociological analysis of grassroots activism, Milagros Peña compares women’s NGOs in two regions—the state of Michoacán in central Mexico and the border region encompassing El Paso, Texas, and Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. In both Michoacán and the border region, women have organized to confront a variety of concerns, including domestic violence, the growing number of single women who are heads of households, and exploitive labor conditions. By comparing women’s activism in two dis...

Intimate Politics
This book places the intimate experience of fertility control at the heart of political and social approaches toward women’s bodies. Across the globe, women have always controlled their fertility through intimate efforts ultimately tied to larger political processes and gendered power dynamics. Women’s biological reproductive capabilities have been contested sites of power struggles, shaping the formation, rule, and dissolution of political regimes throughout history. Yet these intersections between the intimate and the political remain understudied in the historical literature. This book explores these questions from the perspective of multiple time periods, geographic locations, actors...

El largo camino hacia la interrupción legal del embarazo. Una interpretación
La certeza de que lo personal es político se hace presente en este trabajo. Marta Lamas ofrece su versión de los hechos respecto del trayecto transitado por la despenalización del aborto, que se ha recorrido desde la década de 1970. Ésta es una lucha que lejos está de terminar, y el recuento que la autora hace del proceso que varias y distintas activistas feministas llevaron a cabo para lograr la interrupción legal del embarazo es el antecedente clave que nos conduce al movimiento de la Marea Verde, que sigue vivo. Aunque el camino hacia la legalidad de la interrupción del embarazo ha avanzado a lo largo de más cincuenta años, todavía falta que la mayoría de las entidades federativas reformen sus leyes para convertirlo en un derecho pleno de la mujer.
Aboriginal Rights and Self-Government
This collection of essays is a timely exploration of the progress of Aboriginal rights movements in Canada, Mexico, and the United States.

The essays address problems of constructing new political arrangements, practical questions about the viability of multiple governments within one political system, and epistemological questions about recognizing and understanding the "other."
