Fieldnotes from Mexico: La noche de Iguala (2014-15)

This experimental monograph is a portrayal of contemporary Mexican activism, written to voice activists' experiences and perspectives when protesting state, criminal, and capitalist violence. It consists of edited fieldnotes about Mexican activist movements involved in the "indignation for Ayotzinapa," which was a popular uprising protesting state violence. The book covers a period of 18 months during 2014-15, and a short field stay in October to November in 2022. It is told through (i) short biographies of activists, (ii) transcribed speeches, interviews, protest songs and slogans, and (iii) commemorative stories written in first person as if told by Mexico's many missing people as retold by their surviving family and memorized at a memorial site in Mexico City.
