      Women who Kill

      by Sylvia Arvizu

      The author spent 15 years in prison. She interviewed most of her inmates about the crimes for which they were imprisoned for, selected the best stories, and narrated them as brilliant true crime stories told during their everyday life of imprisonment. At the same time, she shows how commiting a crime was the only way to escape from an oppresing living conditions. Every story dives into the human condition and its social restrains, in magnificent story-telling techniques not exent of a sour sense of humour.

      Vida que resurge en las orillas" (Life that resurfaces on the shores) compiles ten years of the work of Manuel Amador and the Women, Art and Politics Workshop, which has inspired dozens of collective actions to confront violence against women in Ecatepec and the rest of Mexico. The protagonists of these actions are co-authors of the book. The voices and images gathered in this book are one of the most important experiences for the construction of peace and justice through art in recent years. In this insistence appeared a pedagogy from the bodies and the art, a pedagogy of the performance against the damage and the mistreatment; a knowledge as answer before the destruction of lives, an alternative speech of human rights before the precarization and the silencing. Actions of performance that generate, from the body, a ritual... For justice and the knowledge that is born from those bodies, for hope and memory"".
