La violencia de género en las relaciones de pareja aborda un tema sensible para la sociedad iberoamericana, como es la violencia contra las mujeres que en particular ocurre en las relaciones de parejas heterosexuales y que inician con el anhelo femenino de encontrar el amor; el cual funciona como una trampa para ellas porque desata una serie de violencias como la prostitución, la trata de personas y el feminicidio, por mencionar algunas. De ahí la relevancia de este libro, que reúne catorce capítulos que analizan la violencia de género de manera interdisciplinaria y desde una mirada reflexiva y crítica que llevan al lector, de la mano en cada capítulo, a las investigaciones actuales acerca de la violencia contra las mujeres. Este libro contribuye en el análisis de este fenómeno complejo que es la violencia de género en las relaciones de pareja, pues deja al descubierto los mecanismos de poder que subyacen en éstas; por lo tanto, el libro aspira a ser un aporte en la tarea de lograr una vida libre de violencia para las mujeres.

Ascent to Glory is a groundbreaking study of One Hundred Years of Solitude, from the mome...
