| Synopsis | Collective, political, and criminal violence are not new phenomena in Mexico. Resorting to them is a well-established and accepted way of doing politics, establishing social ties, and organizing society by state, social, and organized crime actors. This book presents an original analysis of the use and effects of these forms of violence in three episodes of current national life: state repression against the People's Front in Defense of the Land of San Salvador Atenco and its allies (2006), the armed uprising of the Michoacán self-defense groups against the terror and plundering of the Knights Templar (2012-2015), and the persecution, murder, and disappearance of the Ayotzinapa teacher training college students (2014). |
