Gender Transitions Along Borders (eBook, PDF)

The Northern Borderlands of Mexico and Morocco
Redaktion: Solis, Marlene

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

In recent decades, women living in border cities have taken on new roles and have become one of the most vulnerable population groups, experiencing the effects of the economic crisis of the early 21st century and the consequent increase in social inequality and violence. This situation is particularly evident for the northern borderlands of Mexico and Morocco. The geopolitical position of these regions is defined by their strong existing asymmetry with their neighbouring countries: the United States, in the case of Mexico, and the Mediterranean European countries, in the case of Morocco. This book contributes to the understanding of current changes in the workplace, in family, in sexuality and sexual violence within the setting of the borderlands.
