Book Description
Plan Colombia and the Mérida Initiative represented an unprecedented effort by Washington to stabilize fragile democracies in Latin America by shoring up the Colombian and Mexican security forces, respectively. From Peril to Partnership evaluates the extent to which the US government achieved its stabilization objectives. US assistance was more helpful to Colombia than Mexico, which adopted a more militarized approach. This book highlights the importance of the private sector, party system, and security bureaucracy in facilitating progress-and how their absence obstructs it.

Book Description
As of 2023, over nine million Colombians have secured official recognition as victims of an armed conflict that has lasted decades. The category of "victim" is not a mere description of having suffered harm, but a political status and a potential site of power. In Good Victims, Roxani Krystalli investigates the politics of victimhood as a feminist question. Based on in-depth engagement in Colombia over the course of a decade, Krystalli argues for the possibilities of politics through, rather than in opposition to, the status of "victim." Encompassing acts of care, agency, and haunting, the politics of victimhood entangle people who identify as victims, researchers, and transitional justice professionals. Krystalli shows how victimhood becomes a pillar of reimagining the state in the wake of war, and of bringing a vision of that state into being through bureaucratic encounters. Good Victims also sheds light on the ethical and methodological dilemmas that arise when contemplating the legacies of transitional justice mechanisms.

Book Description
Explores global migration through the concept of “return” The current global moment is characterized by both forced and desired returns, whether it’s the United States’ mass deportations to Mexico, ships carrying North African migrants turned back en route to Spain and Italy, urban Chinese migrants going back to their rural home communities, or domestic workers returning to their families in Bolivia and Ghana. Yet, the majority of migration research still centers unidirectional movement, which assumes settlement in a host country. States of Return addresses the many political, economic, and cultural transitions that have accelerated and transformed return during the first decades of the twenty-first century, including new migratory routes, new forms of violence, changing economic conditions, new regulatory regimes of incarceration and deportation, and generational transitions. This volume features contributions from leading scholars and offers a new theorization of the idea of return. It centers migrants’ own understandings of what return movement is and is not, and how it is experienced in terms of impacts on family relationships as well as state interventions that guide return migrations and create new configurations of citizenship and belonging, especially as migrant workers tend to return to states that lack strong infrastructures to support them or welcome them back. At its core, States of Return highlights the ways in which different migrants’ returns reflect conditions of power, privilege, injustice, and violence. The result is a broad and deep account of returns—imagined, achieved, thwarted, or impossible—that captures movement across borders in the world today.

Book Description
This book critically examines the association between the notions of crisis and migration in the context of Latin America, and from three different perspectives: first, it analyzes the discourses based on the concept of crisis employed by the media, academic researchers, civil society organizations and the state to frame human mobility issues; second, it investigates migrants’ agency under conditions of crisis; and third, it discusses whether “migration crisis” is a conjunctural or structural phenomenon in the region. Chapters in this contributed volume investigate the crisis-migration nexus in seven Latin American countries – Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Nicaragua and Uruguay – by discussing different human mobility phenomena, such as the migrant caravans that departed from Central America bound to Mexico and the United States; the Nicaraguan exodus caused by the political crisis in the country; the perception of Venezuelan migrants in Colombia’s media; the presence of Caribbean migrants in Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina. Crisis and Migration: Critical Perspectives from Latin America will be of interest to a wide range of social scientists interested in migration studies, as well as to policy makers and civil society organizations. This book offers a fresh look at the way we conceive, represent, and think about the relationship between crisis and human mobility. As the volume’s contributions show, a critical examination of the notion of crisis is a first step towards a more comprehensive understanding of the plight of present-day migrants worldwide.

Book Description
In tlahtoli, in ohtli. La palabra el camino: Memoria y destino de los pueblos indiacute;genas, contiene muchas facetas del pensamiento de Natalio Hernaacute;ndez. Ayudaraacute; ala lector a entender por queacute; en gran parte de su largo camino, en gran parte de su trayectoria, su palabra ha sido tambieacute;n un llamado, una invitacioacute;n, una poderosa voz que ha convocado a todos los escritores indiacute;genas de Meacute;xico a todos los escritores indiacute;genas de Ameacute;rica. Esta capacidad de reunir a sus hermanos a sus compantilde;eros de viaje en muchas lenguas y en muchas regiones tambieacute;n el destino que fecunda su camino y enaltece su palabra. Carlos Montemayor. el libro de Natalio Hernaacute;ndez no se reduce a relatar criacute;ticamente la historia reciente de la educacioacute;n indiacute;gena en el paiacute;s. Esto lo realiza, lo hace magistralmente: documenta una etapa fundamental en el proceso educativo del paiacute;s que ha sido insuficientemente difundida. Lo interesante es que el Profesor Natalio nos ofrece una propuesta para la continuacioacute;n de esta historia hacia el futuro: nos plantea la necesidad de una nueva ruptura, fruto tanto de la diferente situacioacute;n del paiacute;s de los indiacute;genas, como del anaacute;lisis criacute;tico del desarrollo reciente de la educacioacute;n indiacute;gena en el paiacute;s. Silvia schmelkes Corresponde al la poblacioacute;n no indiacute;gena prestar oiacute;dos a la nueva palabra de los pueblos originarios. Soacute;lo dialogando con eacute;stos- y no ya intermediarios o manipuladores- podraacute;n alcanzarse las tantas veces buscadas respuestas. Los indiacute;genas lo saben. Uno de ellos, de estirpe naacute;huatl, Natalio Hernaacute;ndez, maestro normalista de profesioacute;n y funcionario puacute;blico que se mantiene atento a las demandas de su pueblo, ha expresado bellamente en un poema la idea que aquiacute; estamos considerando : corresponde al hombre indiacute;gena ser duentilde;o de su destino.

Book Description
Rhetorical contests about how to frame a war run alongside many armed conflicts. With the rise of internet access, social media, and cyber operations, these propaganda battles have a wider audience than ever before. Yet, such framing contests have attracted little attention in scholarly literature. What are the effects of gendered and strategic framing in civil war? How do different types of individuals - victims, combatants, women, commanders - utilize the frames created around them and about them? Who benefits from these contests, and who loses? Following the lives of eleven ex-combatants from non-state armed groups and supplemented by over one hundred interviews conducted across Colombia, Framing a Revolution opens a window into this crucial part of civil war. Their testimonies demonstrate the importance of these contests for combatants' commitments to their armed groups during fighting and the Colombian peace process, while also drawing implications for the concept of civil war worldwide.
