OverviewSocial Movements and Latin American Philosophy: From Ciudad Juarez to Ayotzinapa provides a historical and theoretical analysis of the Ayotzinapa social movement from the perspective of Latin American philosophy to provide a deeper understanding of the challenges that social movements face in the context of extreme violence. Luis Rubén Díaz Cepeda analyzes the complete cycle of mobilization appertaining to Ciudad Juárez, the Movement for Peace with Justice and Dignity, and the Ayotzinapa social movement. Guided by the theories of Enrique Dussel, Boaventura de Sousa Santos, Ernesto Laclau, and Santiago Castro-Gomez, Díaz Cepeda addresses questions of how a social movement is born, how the distinct social movement organizations should articulate to form a movement of movements, what (if at all) the limits and extent of these organizations should be. In raising and addressing such questions, Díaz Cepeda argues in favor of a soft articulation and the perennial need for social movement organizations. Scholars of Latin American studies, philosophy, history, and sociology will find this book particularly useful.

Table of ContentsForeword By Enrique Dussel A. Acknowledgments Introduction Chapter 1: Ciudad Juárez: The Movement against Militarization Chapter 2: Movement for Peace with Justice and Dignity Chapter 3: Ayotzinapa Chapter 4: State of Rebellion Chapter 5: A Movement of Movements Chapter 6: A New Order Conclusion Bibliography About the AuthorReviewsThis book provides an insider's account of the largest social movements in Mexico from 2008 to 2018. It is, thus, a contribution to contemporary Mexican history. In the case studies of the first part of the book, Diaz Cepeda deftly uses North American and European theorists to explain the general relevance of understanding these movements. In its second part, he uses contemporary Latin American philosophy, particularly that of the erudite Mexico-Argentinean philosopher Enrique Dussel, to analyze these movements. Unlike many works of philosophy that are largely theoretical, Diaz Cepeda conducted interviews with key activists and conducted participatory ethnography. The book presents ample evidence of the counterproductive effects of the armed war on drugs and its negative impact on innocent civilians. This book is a recommended text for Latin Americanists, and social movements scholars in the humanities and the social sciences. --Ernesto Castaneda, American University Author InformationLuis Rubén Díaz Cepeda is assistant professor in the humanities department at The Autonomous University of Ciudad Juárez.
