"Resistencias penitenciarias reúne las reflexiones de investigadoras-activistas y artistas-activistas que desarrollan su trabajo en espacios de reclusión en México. Se trata de un esfuerzo por sistematizar sus experiencias y compartirlas con académicas y académicos preocupados por las estrategias de trabajo en espacios penitenciarios, también con activistas que quieran contribuir a la construcción de una vida digna para todas y todos, y con un público amplio que se interese en conocer más sobre los retos de la vida en reclusión. A partir de experiencias en distintas prisiones del país este libro documenta cómo el sistema penitenciario mexicano se ha convertido en un espacio más de violencia estructural que marca los cuerpos y las mentes de hombres y mujeres pobres y racializados"--Page 4 of cover

L'auteure se base sur son expérience d'élaboration d'expertises anthropologiques, à partir de démarches méthodologiques de recherche-action, pour réfléchir sur les possibilités et les limites de l'anthropologie juridique féministe. Elle analyse plus précisément sa participation à l'élaboration d'une expertise pour la défense d'une prisonnière politique autochtone au Mexique, la commandante Nestora Salgado García de la Coordination régionale des autorités communautaires ‒ Police communautaire (CRAC-PC) de Guerrero, qui a été détenue injustement pour avoir pris part à un système de justice autochtone.

From a critical reading of Anglo-Saxon postmodern feminism, this article seeks to recover those methodological and epistemological proposals that may prove useful to Latin Americans who are questioning ethnocentric paradigms of Western positivism. The fact that western feminists, defenders and detractors exchange ideas, enables the author to approach the debates on the patriarchal nature of Western science and the epistemological and political quests undertaken from different angles of feminism to construct a non-ethnocentric knowledge and feminist practice which includes diversity.

The author approaches the debate on multiculturalism in Mexico emphasizing the tensions that exist among gendered perspectives on identity politics within the indigenous movement and also among Mexican intellectuals. It demonstrates how Indigenous women have played a very important role in confronting the uses of a discourse about indigenous women's rights as arguments against indigenous cultural rights and shows how they are not intrinsically opposed to each other. Their conception of multiculturalism and autonomy emerges from a dynamic perspective on "culture," a vision that claims the right to self-determination from an understanding of identity as an historical construction formulated and reformulated in daily living.

Los peligros del cuerpo: un acercamiento a la nueva etnografía de la sexualidad en México

En este artículo ofrecer algunas reflexiones sobre el discurso desarrollista en relación con la construcción y consolidación de las fronteras mexicanas y españolas. En el caso mexicano, se alza como una alternativa a la marginación de las poblaciones indígenas; en el español, como panacea de las esperanzas de los colectivos inmigrantes. Sin duda la construcción de la otredad se distingue en ambos casos en torno al eje de la ciudadanía, pues si bien los indígenas son miembros de la nación mexicana, los migrantes son construidos en esencia como ajenos a los derechos asociados a la pertenencia nacional.

"Transcontinental Dialogues brings together Indigenous and non-Indigenous anthropologists from Mexico, Canada, and Australia who work at the intersections of Indigenous rights, advocacy, and action research. These engaged anthropologists explore how obligations manifest in differently situated alliances, how they respond to such obligations, and the consequences for anthropological practice and action. This volume presents a set of pieces that do not take the usual political or geographic paradigms as their starting point; instead, the particular dialogues from the margins presented in this book arise from a rejection of the geographic hierarchization of knowledge in which the Global South continues to be the space for fieldwork while the Global North is the place for its systematization and theorization. Instead, contributors in Transcontinental Dialogues delve into the interactions between anthropologists and the people they work with in Canada, Australia, and Mexico. This framework allows the contributors to explore the often unintended but sometimes devastating impacts of government policies (such as land rights legislation or justice initiatives for women) on Indigenous people's lives. Each chapter's author reflects critically on their own work as activist-­scholars. They offer examples of the efforts and challenges that anthropologists--Indigenous and non-Indigenous--confront when producing ­knowledge in alliances with Indigenous peoples. Mi'kmaq land rights, pan-Maya social movements, and Aboriginal title claims in rural and urban areas are just some of the cases that provide useful ground for reflection on and critique of challenges and opportunities for scholars, policy-makers, activists, allies, and community members.This volume is timely and innovative for using the disparate anthropological traditions of three regions to explore how the interactions between anthropologists and Indigenous peoples in supporting Indigenous activism have the potential to transform the production of knowledge within the historical colonial traditions of anthropology"--University of Arizona Press
