«In the face of government failure to provide justice and security, how have Mexican citizens – cultural and political activists, women’s collectives, church groups – responded to violence and crime that upend their daily lives? This unique comparative ethnography by a multidisciplinary team of scholars foregrounds the creative, courageous, and arduous work through which people are stitching the torn social fabric of their communities. Empirically and conceptually rich, it is an essential, timely read.»

«This book takes an original lens to the crisis of violence, crime and insecurity in Mexico. Through an ethnographic approach, it critically and insightfully accompanies the efforts of social and civic actors in varied locations of Michoacán, from urban to more rural, to find a space to act creatively in and on the many violences they have to live with.»
