Documenting Violence in Calderón’s Mexico: Visual Culture, Resistance and Memorialisation


Overview

In Mexico, during the presidency of Felipe Calderon (2006-2012) and as a direct result of his 'war' on drugs, at least 60,000 people were killed, tens of thousands were 'disappeared' and countless more were subjected to kidnapping and sexual violence. This book analyses how artists and filmmakers, alongside affected citizens, attempted to navigate, articulate and contend with this unparalleled escalation in brutality.
