Paperback. Condición: New. 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 indigenous criminality in Guatemala, and governments' selective blindness to violent crime in Brazil and Jamaica. The authors in this collection examine not only the social construction and political visibility of violence and crime in Latin America, but the justifications for them as well. Analytically and historically, these essays show how Latin American citizens have sanctioned criminal and violent practices and incorporated them into social relations, everyday practices, and institutional settings. At the same time, the authors explore the power struggles that inform distinctions between illegitimate versus legitimate violence.Violence and Crime in Latin America makes a substantive contribution to understanding a key problem facing Latin America today. In its historical depth and ethnographic reach, this original and thought-provoking volume enhances our understanding of crime and violence throughout the Western Hemisphere.…

Paperback. Condición: New. In the Vortex of Violence examines the uncharted history of lynching in post-revolutionary Mexico. Based on a collection of previously untapped sources, the book examines why lynching became a persistent practice during a period otherwise characterized by political stability and decreasing levels of violence. It explores how state formation processes, as well as religion, perceptions of crime, and mythical beliefs, contributed to shaping people's understanding of lynching as a legitimate form of justice. Extending the history of lynching beyond the United States, this book offers key insights into the cultural, historical, and political reasons behind the violent phenomenon and its continued practice in Latin America today.…

01-05-2023 edición A la luz de las antorchas brillan los machetes, se ve algún palo y quizás un garrote, aparecen piedras y sogas, se improvisa un cadalso: la multitud enardecida se cierne sobre un presunto criminal, una maestra de escuela o esa bruja que hasta hace poco no era más que la curandera del pueblo. El linchamiento es la máxima expresión de eso que llamamos justicia por propia mano. En este libro, Gema Kloppe-Santamaría desmenuza un fenómeno que por mucho tiempo se consideró anómalo o episódico, mero atavismo de sociedades incivilizadas y supersticiosas, pero que visto de otra manera permite entender algunos de los procesos políticos que moldearon al México del siglo XX. La modernización del país promovida por el Estado posrevolucionario produjo diversas formas de resistencia en amplios sectores de la población, que encontraron en el asesinato tumultuario una forma extrema de conservación de sus creencias, códigos sociales e integridad. páginas/pasges.…
