      abstract = {"This book provides an important and eloquent analysis of  how cultural productions related to the War on Drugs reveal  the ways the victimization of migrants in transit,  journalists, and the relatives of disappeared ultimately  give rise to crucial modes of politics and resistance. This  is a topic that will be of great interest to anyone  interested in the war on drugs, migration, democracy in  Mexico, or indeed imperatives in general for human rights  and social justice." --Shaylih Muehlmann, University of  British Columbia, Canada This book explores the current  human rights crisis created by the War on Drugs in Mexico.  It focuses on three vulnerable communities that have felt  the impacts of this war firsthand: undocumented Central  American migrants in transit to the United States;  journalists who report on violence in highly dangerous  regions; and the mourning relatives of victims of severe  crimes, who take collective action by participating in  human rights investigations and searching for their missing  loved ones. Analyzing contemporary novels, journalistic  chronicles, testimonial works, and documentaries, the book  reveals the political potential of these communities  vulnerability and victimization portrayed in these  fictional and non-fictional representations. Violence  against migrants, journalists, and activists reveals an  array of human rights violations affecting the right to  safe transit across borders, freedom of expression, the  right to information, and the right to truth and justice.
