内容説明・目次

内容説明

Womens Participation in Mexican Political Life is a collection of fifteen original essays that draws together the expertise of well-known Mexicanist, Latin Americanist, and gender scholars from Mexico, the U.S., and Europe. The essays analyze the participation of women in different arenas of Mexicos political life: in elected positions and appointed positions, as feminist and grassroots leaders, as members of rebel groups and nongovernmental organizations, and so on. Altogether, this volume presents an insightful and comprehensive overview of the principal issues that affect the participation of women in the political tapestry of contemporary Mexico. }To date, the mainstream literature on Mexican politics has said little about women, even though their participation as formal political actors has increased dramatically in the past fifteen years. Somewhat surprisingly, the political participation of women, although well documented in other Latin American countries, has been neglected in the case of Mexico. Womens Participation in Mexican Political Life is a collection of thirteen original essays which pulls together the expertise of well-known Mexicanist, Latin Americanist, and gender scholars from Mexico, the U.S., and Europe. The essays analyze the participation of women in different arenas of the Mexican political system: elected positions, appointed positions, grassroots leaders, voters, non-governmental organizations, unions, and so on. Altogether, the analysis includes essays on women from the various political parties, from different regions of the country, and from different levels of government (federal, state, local), making the book a truly representative sample of issues that affect the participation of women in Mexican political life. }
