Description

Explore a profound analysis of violence and mortality in contemporary Mexico with Necropolitics: Living Death in Mexico. Part of the Studies of the Americas series, this book examines how necropolitics operates as the administration of life and death. Rather than viewing death as a mere object of government, the author locates the forces of mortality directly on the body, bringing death into the politics of the everyday. Through detailed testimonies from individuals living in towns overrun by organized crime, this volume provides a deep look at the realities of Michoacan, one of Mexico's most violent states. Readers will gain insight into the struggles of local communities and the rise of resistance groups, specifically the autodefensa movement. This work offers a necessary recalibration of how we understand political violence and its impact on the human body and daily life in high-conflict regions.
