About this book
Reviews
“This is a fascinating edited volume that uniquely draws on the expertise of Mexican academics and grassroots activists to explore the positive and negative effects of institutional reforms to promote gender equality in Mexico. Importantly, it gives voice to academic scholars of gender and institutions but also to activists who work on the ground to improve gender quality in Mexico.” (Leslie Schwindt-Bayer, Professor, Rice University, Houston, US)
“Political Representation and Gender Equality in Mexico does what no other collection has done. By bringing not only academic voices to a discussion of women’s political representation in Mexico, but also the invaluable insight of practitioners and grassroots activists, this volume provides a holistic understanding of Mexico’s journey to gender equality. The result is an invaluable resource for scholars of women and politics, as well as those of Mexican democracy.” (Magda Hinojosa, Director & Professor, School of Politics and Global Studies, Arizona State University, Tempe, US)
“This timely and important collection brings together Mexico’s leading scholars and activists working on gender and politics. The chapters reveal Mexico’s progress and setbacks on gender equality, from advancing feminist legislative agendas to implementing national and subnational laws that combat violence against women. Vidal-Correa’s excellent and well-edited volume is required reading for everyone interested in Latin American politics.” (Jennifer M. Piscopo, Associate Professor of Politics, Occidental College, Los Angeles, US)
“This collection of essays about gender equality and political representation in Mexico is unique in that it combines the voices of practitioners, policy experts, activists, and academics into a mosaic of interlocking perspectives on the subject. Of particular significance is that the Mexican and native Spanish-speaking authors of this volume are able to address authoritatively anEnglish-language readership in a way that reflects directly their roles and experiences within the Mexican national context that they analyze.” (James D Huck, Jr., Tulane University, New Orleans, US)
