Have you ever wondered about the untold stories of women whose voices are often silenced by societal structures?
In the Shade of the Guamuchil Tree: Life Stories of Indigenous and Peasant Women in Prison in Mexico, by the Sisters in the Shadow Editorial Collective, reveals the gripping experiences of indigenous and mestizo women at Cereso Morelos. This book brings to light the struggles of 206 women and 15 children imprisoned by a system that fails to address the root causes of crime, resorting instead to punitive measures.
Through nine powerful narratives collected in Life Stories workshops over nearly three years at the Atlacholoaya women's detention center, this book offers a profound look at inequality and social injustice.
Ideal for readers interested in social justice, human rights, and gender studies, as well as educators and students exploring these themes, this book is a crucial resource for understanding and addressing systemic inequalities.
The Editorial Collective Sisters in the Shadow, formed by women inmates from CERESO Atlacholoaya, Morelos, has been working since 2008 to dignify imprisoned women through publishing and media, aiming to challenge misconceptions and foster societal respect.
