Persistencia y cambio
La revisión crítica de la historia política y social, los análisis de la cultura, del discurso y de la vida cotidiana desde la mirada femenina que se ofrecen aquí, nos permiten ir trazando también los rasgos de la cultura de género en México. Como lo muestran estos estudios, cuando el punto de vista se sitúa en las mujeres y se ilumina la vida cotidiana, política o social desde su propia experiencia, el panorama cambia mucho o poco- pero siempre se enriquece.
Enjaular los cuerpos
En los trabajos compilados en este libro se analizan diversas formas del control social e ideológico ejercido sobre el cuerpo de las mujeres en el siglo XIX mexicano, que conforman una normatividad que define un modelo de lo femenino que se pretende válido para todas y que se trata de imponer desde el ámbito legal, el científico, el literario y el de las artes plásticas. En ellos se analiza la particular construcción social y simbólica que se hace de los cuerpos de las mujeres en este periodo definitorio para la historia mexicana, lo que nos permite avanzar en la reflexión y el conocimiento de la historia de los géneros sexuales.
A History of Infamy
A History of Infamy explores the broken nexus between crime, justice, and truth in mid-twentieth-century Mexico. Faced with the violence and impunity that defined politics, policing, and the judicial system in post-revolutionary times, Mexicans sought truth and justice outside state institutions. During this period, criminal news and crime fiction flourished. Civil society’s search for truth and justice led, paradoxically, to the normalization of extrajudicial violence and neglect of the rights of victims. As Pablo Piccato demonstrates, ordinary people in Mexico have made crime and punishment central concerns of the public sphere during the last century, and in doing so have shaped crime and violence in our times.
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...

Violence and Crime in Latin America
According to media reports, Latin America is one of the most violent regions in the world—a distinction it held throughout the twentieth century. The authors of Violence and Crime in Latin America contend that perceptions and representations of violence and crime directly impact such behaviors, creating profound consequences for the political and social fabric of Latin American nations. Written by distinguished scholars of Latin American history, sociology, anthropology, and political science, the essays in this volume range from Mexico and Argentina to Colombia and Brazil in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, addressing such issues as extralegal violence in Mexico, the myth of indi...
The Little Old Lady Killer
The surprising true story of Mexico’s hunt, arrest, and conviction of its first female serial killer For three years, amid widespread public outrage, police in Mexico City struggled to uncover the identity of the killer responsible for the ghastly deaths of forty elderly women, many of whom had been strangled in their homes with a stethoscope by someone posing as a government nurse. When Juana Barraza Samperio, a female professional wrestler known as la Dama del Silencio (the Lady of Silence), was arrested—and eventually sentenced to 759 years in prison—for her crimes as the Mataviejitas (the little old lady killer), her case disrupted traditional narratives about gender, criminality, ...
