Book Description
In The Two Faces of Fear, Ana Villareal provides an in-depth study of how people live in a high-violence environment, drawing on two years of qualitative fieldwork conducted during a violent turf war in her hometown of Monterrey, Mexico. More broadly, Villareal puts forth a new approach to the study of fear and provides tangible evidence of how quickly fear worsens class, gender, race, and urban inequality beyond Mexico and the "war on drugs."
