About the Author R.
This volume studies how individuals and communities go on Living not in spite of the Death that surrounds life, but more disturbingly by attuning to it.
This necropolitics is explored through testimonies of individuals Living in towns overrun by organized crime and resistance groups, namely, the autodefensa movement, that operate throughout Michoac n, one of the most violent states in Mexico.
The author locates the forces of mortality directly on the body, rather than as an object of government, thereby placing Death in a politics of the everyday.
