Abstract | The first months of the Calderon administration in Mexico have been characterized by the militarization of indigenous regions throughout the country and the continued criminalization of social movements - the perpetration of state violence and repression in the name of "social peace." Indigenous women are suffering the consequences of militarization in a special way. The rape of Ernestina Ascencio Rosario by four soldiers in the Sierra de Zongolica, in Veracruz, called attention to indigenous people's rejection of military presence in their communities. The case evidences the racism and sexism of those in power and the networks of complicity that permit and perpetrate impunity in Mexico. It is urgent that alliances are created between the feminist and the indigenous movement to denounce neocolonial strategies that use sexual violence as a counterinsurgency tool in Mexico. |

AbstractList | The first months of the Calderon administration in Mexico have been characterized by the militarization of indigenous regions throughout the country and the continued criminalization of social movements - the perpetration of state violence and repression in the name of "social peace." Indigenous women are suffering the consequences of militarization in a special way. The rape of Ernestina Ascencio Rosario by four soldiers in the Sierra de Zongolica, in Veracruz, called attention to indigenous people's rejection of military presence in their communities. The case evidences the racism and sexism of those in power and the networks of complicity that permit and perpetrate impunity in Mexico. It is urgent that alliances are created between the feminist and the indigenous movement to denounce neocolonial strategies that use sexual violence as a counterinsurgency tool in Mexico. The first months of the Calderon administration in Mexico have been characterized by the militarization of indigenous regions throughout the country & the continued criminalization of social movements -- the perpetration of state violence & repression in the name of "social peace." The April 26 reforms of the Federal Penal Code designed to "punish terrorism," which impose severe sentences on those who threaten the peace & tranquility of the population "by any violent method," have been denounced as yet another strategy for criminalizing social movements. The Fox administration's "neoliberal multiculturalism" which appropriated & trivialized indigenous people's demands (see Hernandez, Paz, & Sierra, 2005), has been replaced by neoconservative policies & actions that treat organized indigenous peoples as delinquents. The rhetoric of cultural recognition has similarly been exchanged for a developmentalist discourse against poverty. References. [Reprinted by permission of Sage Publications Inc., copyright 2008.] |
