Criminal violence and coronavirus
To locate the meaning of this book we must go back to the early years of the 20th century. During the rebellion against the dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz and the subsequent stages of the Mexican Revolution, the independent media gained legitimacy because they also fought for freedom of speech, among other freedoms. The Constitution of 1917 acknowledged their role as guarantors of freedom of speech. More then a hundred years later, however, the struggle for freedom of speech continues.
Violencia criminal y coronavirus
Para ubicar el significado de este libro, debemos regresar a los primeros años del siglo XX. Durante la rebelión contra la dictadura de Porfirio Díaz y las etapas posteriores de la Revolución mexicana, los medios de comunicación independientes se legitimaron porque combatieron a favor de la libertad de expresión -entre otras libertades-, y se les reconoció por exigir que ésta se garantizara en la Constitución de 1917. A más de cien años, la batalla por la libertad de expresión sigue vigente.
The mexican enigma
"The country´s future depends on what a conscious and organized society does, or fail to do". The mexican enigma is an informative analysis of the situation of political, social and economic crisis that Mexico is going through from the review of three key areas: the political elites —mainly figures like Enrique Peña Nieto, whom the author studies in a bibliographical manner as well as reviews his actions since he was governor of Estado de Mexico—; the de facto powers that have been developed in the country and its implications in Mexican political and social credibility; the last axis is organized society, which, from the perception of Aguayo, has always been excluded from Mexican poli...
Co-creating Actionable Science
In response to the call for actionable and collaborative solutions-oriented research for sustainability, this collection of essays provides insights into the multi-layered challenges that underlie this fast-emerging field. It offers the reader a deeper understanding of the myriad local avenues where knowledge is co-produced to meet the grand challenge of our times—‘transformation to sustainability’. Situated within a wide variety of research settings in the global North and South, the contributions here variously probe how actionable science emerges (or fails to emerge) in this process. From diverse perspectives, they ruminate on various research practice topics, including how to reconcile scientific understanding with normative action, how to acknowledge and integrate participant knowledge in research, and how to handle potential negative impacts of actionable science. In examining these rarely reflected-upon questions, the book provides valuable, empirically-based insights into research practice, and will be useful for scholars and educators working with transdisciplinary research design and practice.
Collective Biologies
In Collective Biologies, Emily A. Wentzell uses sexual health research participation as a case study for investigating the use of individual health behaviors to aid groups facing crisis and change. Wentzell analyzes couples' experiences of a longitudinal study of HPV occurrence in men in Cuernavaca, Mexico. She observes how their experiences reflected Mexican cultural understandings of group belonging through categories like family and race. For instance, partners drew on collective rather than individualistic understandings of biology to hope that men's performance of “modern” masculinities, marriage, and healthcare via HPV research would aid groups ranging from church congregations to ...
Sicarios de Pinochet. La crónica secreta de un complot
Durante la dictadura cívico militar del general Augusto Pinochet Ugarte operó una agrupación ilícita organizada por él y por oficiales de su círculo de mayor confianza, acusada de cometer graves ilícitos, como el secuestro y asesinato del coronel Gerardo Huber y el tráfico de armas a Croacia, entre otros delitos, orientados al enriquecimiento indebido. El poder y sistema de represión imperantes durante diecisiete años permitieron que el Clan se desenvolviera con gran impunidad. Tal fue el poder acumulado que subsistió hasta el año 2008.
Victim Activists in Mexico
Victim Activists in Mexico: Social and Political Mobilization amid Extreme Violence and Disappearances examines the collective action of the courageous family members of the disappeared in the midst of Mexico’s ongoing humanitarian crisis over the last decades. Yael Siman and Matthew Hone analyze this grassroots mobilization and argue that the activists have created rutinary, contentious, and innovative types of resistance through building local and trans-local links of support and solidarity that reinforce their struggle. This mobilization from below has contributed to constructing transitional justice including laws, public apologies, and memorials. The combination of internal and external factors impacting the collectives and their environment has enabled significant changes in the institutions, state responses, and the victimhood narratives in the country. This book adds to the scholarship on the collective action of grieving families by focusing on both the social and political aspects of mobilization.
Defeating Los Zetas
The narrative regarding criminal violence in Mexico tends to highlight the negative, while minimizing success stories: this book is different. It explains the reasons why the region of La Laguna succeeded in reducing the statistics of homicides and missing persons and how it started to attend to the families of victims. There were two key factors: 1) federal, state, and local government pushing aside party differences in order to coordinate efforts, and 2) dialogue and response to the petitions of social actors. The result is the best security model in Mexico.
The Zeta Yoke
Confronting organized crime requires an understanding of its workings. The Zeta Yoke is based on legal documents made available by the government of the state of Coahuila, information submited by the National Human Rights Commission and an exhaustive research of other material. This report details how the Zetas controlled northern Coahuila for several years and their interactions with the authorities at various levels. It focuses on this cartel's control of the Piedras Negrasprision and the brutal reprisals in Allende and other local districts following a betrayal, responsibility for which lies at the door of the DEA and Mexico's Federal Police.
De Tlatelolco a Ayotzinapa
Para entender Ayotzinapa, hay que entender primero al Movimiento de 1968 que Sergio Aguayo reinterpreta con una mirada experta, una prosa fresca y una gran cantidad de información. Después del 68 México cambió para bien y para mal. Algunas transformaciones nos acercaron a los espacios democráticos, otras a los infiernos del miedo. La causa de la inseguridad es que el Estado permitió la perversión de su monopolio legítimo de la violencia. Para enfrentar la violencia la sociedad necesita comprenderla. Este libro es un instrumento indispensable para entender el 2 de octubre y evitar tragedias como la de Ayotzinapa.
