Challenging Authoritarianism in Mexico available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The Cold War in Latin America spawned numerous authoritarian and military regimes in response to the ostensible threat of communism in the Western Hemisphere, and with that, a rigid national security doctrine was exported to Latin America by the United States. Between 1964 and 1985, Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uraguay experienced a period of state-sponsored terrorism commonly referred to as the "dirty wars." Thousands of leftists, students, intellectuals, workers, peasants, labor leaders, and innocent civilians were harassed, arrested, tortured, raped, murdered, or 'disappeared.' Many studies have been done about this phenomenon in the other areas of Latin America, but strangely, Mexico's dirty war has been excluded from this particular scholarship. Here for the first time is a sustained look at this period and consideration of the many facets that make up the nearly two decades of the Mexican dirty war. Offering the reader a broad perspective of the period, the case studies in the book present narratives of particular armed revolutionary movements as well as thematic essays on gender, human rights, culture, student radicalism, the Cold War, and the international impact of this state-sponsored terrorism.

This volume presents an interdisciplinary analysis of the practice of disappearances in Mexico, from the period of the so-called ‘dirty war’ to the current crisis of disappearances associated with the country’s ‘war on drugs’, during which more than 80,000 people have disappeared. The volume brings together contributions by distinguished scholars from Mexico, Argentina and Europe, who focus their chapters on four broad axes of enquiry. In Part I, chapters examine the phenomenon of disappearances in its historical and present-day forms, and the struggles for memory around the disappeared in Mexico with reference to Argentina. Part II addresses the political dimensions of disappearances, focusing on the specificities that this practice acquires in the context of the counterinsurgency struggle of the 1970s and the so-called ‘war on drugs’. The third section situates the issue within the framework of human rights law by examining the conceptual and legal aspects of disappearances. The final chapters explore the social movement of the relatives of the disappeared, showing how their search for disappeared loved ones involves bodily and affective experiences as well as knowledge production. The volume thus aims to further our understanding of the crisis of disappearances in Mexico without, however, losing sight of the historic origins of the phenomenon.

Visibilizing the Disappeared: Rosario Ibarra and Politicized Mothering During Mexico's Dirty War available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. During the period of the Dirty War in Mexico, which began after the violent government suppression of the 1968 student movement and extended into the 1980s, Mexico experienced an increase in state-sponsored terrorism that led to thousands of students, professors, teachers, civilians, guerrilleros, and activists being detained, disappeared, or murdered by government forces. On April 18, 1975, a nineteen year-old medical student and member of the Liga Comunista 23 de Septiembre, Jesus Piedra Ibarra, disappeared near his home in Monterrey, Mexico. His mother, Rosario Ibarra, began a frantic search for him that led her to Mexico City where she met with over a hundred families who were also searching for their family members who had also been forcefully disappeared by the government's security agency. Between 1975 and 1977, these families began a movement to find answers, hold the government accountable for human rights abuses, and challenge the repressive policies of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). Led by Ibarra, this group of mothers came to be known as Comite ℗ŁEureka! Through an intersectional approach to history, this thesis examines and historicizes the politicization and activism of Rosario Ibarra and the mothers of Comite ℗ŁEureka! By centering their strategies and agency as largely middle-class women and mothers, they were able to bring national and international attention to the human rights abuses of the PRI government during the Dirty War in Mexico.
