Enduring Violence -- Appendix -- Notes -- References -- IndexDrawing on revealing, in-depth interviews, Cecilia Menjívar investigates the role that violence plays in the lives of Ladina women in eastern Guatemala, a little-visited and little-studied region. While much has been written on the subject of political violence in Guatemala, Menjívar turns to a different form of suffering-the violence embedded in institutions and in everyday life so familiar and routine that it is often not recognized as such. Rather than painting Guatemala (or even Latin America) as having a cultural propensity for normalizing and accepting violence, Menjívar aims to develop an approach to examining structures of violence-profound inequality, exploitation and poverty, and gender ideologies that position women in vulnerable situations- grounded in women's experiences. In this way, her study provides a glimpse into the root causes of the increasing wave of feminicide in Guatemala, as well as in other Latin American countries, and offers observations relevant for understanding violence against women around the world today.WomenGuatemalaSocial conditionsWomenViolence againstGuatemalaLadino (Latin American people)Violence againstGuatemalaViolenceGuatemalaanthropology.asylum.catholicism.criminology.exploitation.female survivors.female victims.feminicide.gender inequality.gender norms.gender roles.gender studies.gender.guatemala.immigration.inequality.institutional violence.ladina.latin america.latina.microaggressions.migration.political violence.poverty.refugee.religion.sexuality.structural violence.underdeveloped countries.violence against women.violence.vulnerability.women.womens studies.WomenSocial conditions.WomenViolence againstLadino (Latin American people)Violence againstViolence305.48/969420972814Menjívar Cecilia1120970MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786708803321Enduring violence3728563UNINA
