Feminicide: Theorizing border violence

Report
North America

Executive Summary

Publication of four edited volumes that examine femicide in the Mexico-US border region adds immensely to our understanding of that phenomenon, particularly when they are read through the lens of Nicole M. Guidottie- Hernández’s Unspeakable Violence: Remapping U.S. and Mexican National Imaginaries, which traces violence in the borderlands from the nineteenth century to the present and demonstrates how violence has shaped people’s identities in the border area. These books tap many of the foremost authors on femicide, who bring to their analyses a wide array of disciplinary approaches and touch upon a host of related themes. This article is only accessible with journal subscription.
