Recenzje

How do people obtain justice in contexts of insecurity and impunity? In this remarkable and deeply researched book, Janice Gallagher unpacks the dynamic interaction between claim-making, collective action, and state responses amidst cases of enforced disappearances in Mexico. An important contribution to existing research on social movements, crime, and legal studies, Bootstrap Justice also honors lives—those whose whereabouts remain unknown, and those who marshal courage, social ties, and politics to fight for their rights as citizens and human beings.
