Produktbeschreibung
In The Maternal Contract, Elva F. Orozco Mendoza traces the mobilization of mothers' organizations that first emerged in the 1970s as distinctive modes of collective action against state violence in the Americas.

While these organizations emerged in different times and geographies, Orozco Mendoza argues that they are linked by a powerful commitment to protect subaltern social groups and marginalized subjects against a sweeping violence-driven apparatus.
