DESCRIPTION:Books are under attack in the United States. PEN America counted 10\,000 books banned in public schools\, with public libraries close behind.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProtesting that culture of censorship and suppression\, the Center for the Study of the Holocaust\, Genocide\, and Crimes Against Humanity (Graduate Center—City University of New York)\, in cooperation with Marion Kaplan\, Professor Emerita of Hebrew and Judaic Studies (NYU) and Raz Segal\, Endowed Professor in the Study of Modern Genocide (Stockton University)\, is hosting a year-long virtual series\, “In Praise of Books.” We celebrate new scholarship by emerging as well as established scholars\, prizing their creativity and rigor. \nPlease join us for the third of the series:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWednesday 19 February 2025.\n12:00-1:00 PM (EST) Virtual \n“Victim Activists in Mexico: Social and Political Mobilization amid Extreme Violence and Disappearances”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProfessor Alexandra Délano Alonso will engage authors Yael Siman and Matthew Hone in a conversation about their new book\, Victim Activists in Mexico: Social and Political Mobilization amid Extreme Violence and Disappearances. Amid the extreme violence that plagues Mexico\, enforced disappearances have surged\, exacerbated by systemic macro-criminality and widespread impunity. Families of the disappeared face nearly insurmountable challenges. Yet a robust movement has emerged\, led predominantly by courageous relatives—primarily mothers—who have become victim-activists. Prof Alexandra Délano Alonso\, Professor of Politics and Global Studies (The New School)\, and Profs Yael Siman (Iberoamericana University) and Matthew Hone (Stockton University) will discuss grassroots struggles for justice and the many forms of resistance these families have developed. \nChair: Center Director\, Debórah Dwork\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
