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. 606 $aWomen$zGuatemala$xSocial conditions 606 $aWomen$xViolence against$zGuatemala 606 $aLadino (Latin American people)$xViolence against$zGuatemala 606 $aViolence$zGuatemala 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aWomen$xViolence against 615 0$aLadino (Latin American people)$xViolence against 615 0$aViolence 676 $a305.48/969420972814 700 $aMenji?var$b Cecilia$01120970 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911144925703321 996 $aEnduring violence$94868266 997 $aUNINA
