"Terrorizing Women" brings together essays by feminist and human rights activists, attorneys, and scholars from Latin America and the United States, as well as "testimonios" by relatives of women who were disappeared or murdered. In addition to investigating egregious violations of women's human rights, the contributors consider feminicide in relation to neoliberal economic policies, the violent legacies of military regimes, and the sexual fetishization of women's bodies. They suggest strategies for confronting feminicide; propose legal, political, and social routes for redressing injustices; and track alternative remedies generated by the communities affected by gender-based violence. In a photo essay portraying the justice movement in Chihuahua, relatives of disappeared and murdered women bear witness to feminicide and demand accountability.
"Contributors" Pascha Bueno-Hansen, Adriana Carmona Lopez, Ana Carcedo Cabanas, Jennifer Casey, Lucha Castro Rodriguez, Angelica Chazaro, Rebecca Coplan, Hector Dominguez-Ruvalcaba, Marta Fontenla, Alma Gomez Caballero, Christina Iturralde, Marcela Lagarde y de los Rios, Julia Estela Monarrez Fragoso, Hilda Morales Trujillo, Mercedes Olivera, Patricia Ravelo Blancas, Katherine Ruhl, Montserrat Sagot, Rita Laura Segato, Alicia Schmidt Camacho, William Paul Simmons, Deborah M. Weissman, Melissa W. Wright
