Mothers as Activists: Power, Protests, and the Media in Mexico
Mexico is in a historic moment right now in which change appears to be in the hands of citizens who are demanding an end to the corrupt governance that has resulted in decades of human rights abuses. This lecture will explore violence and activism in Juárez, Mexico focusing on how activists and human rights defenders work to counter a state controlled media monopoly that blames victims for their own deaths.
Bio: Alice Driver is the author of "More or Less Dead: Feminicide, Haunting, and the Ethics of Representation in Mexico" (University of Arizona Press 2015). She recently translated "Abecedario de Juárez," a collaboration between journalist Julián Cardona and artist Alice Leora Briggs that explores and maps the new language of violence in Mexico.
