The triangle of empowerment is how this volume's editors describe the three sets of actors involved in women's collective struggles in the political arena: the women's movement, feminist politicians, and feminist civil servants. Original case studies from Europe, Latin America, and the Caribbean analyze the political struggles women are waging to make their voices heard and to place women's issues on the agenda in different societies.

Between 1976 and 1983 in Argentina the highest military and political State authorities committed a bloody crime against humanity. More than thirty thousand women and men, dissident and alleged to be dissident, were killed by a murderous machine that, after unconceivable acts of violence, decided their disappearing by denying any fundamental right. The mothers of Plaza de Mayo, the association set up by the mothers of the disappeared ones, the so-called desaparecidos, is still going on with its fight invoking justice. Francesca Sassano lets the excrutiating tragedy of those women come out through a clear and historically reliable story as a novel widening the echos of sorrow, the questions of a large crowd, the indifference generated by terror, the incredulity of the rest of the world. Not to forget, so that “silence never becomes a comfortable blindfold, nor an iron tip on the neck”.

Part travelogue, part cookbook, Mercados takes us on a tour of Mexico’s most colorful destinations—its markets—led by an award-winning, preeminent guide whose passion for Mexican food attracted followers from around the globe. Just as David Sterling’s Yucatán earned him praise for his “meticulously researched knowledge” (Saveur) and for producing “a labor of love that well documents place, people and, yes, food” (Booklist), Mercados now invites readers to learn about local ingredients, meet vendors and cooks, and taste dishes that reflect Mexico’s distinctive regional cuisine. Serving up more than one hundred recipes, Mercados presents unique versions of Oaxaca’s legendary moles and Michoacan’s carnitas, as well as little-known specialties such as the charcuterie of Chiapas, the wild anise of Pátzcuaro, and the seafood soups of Veracruz. Sumptuous color photographs transport us to the enormous forty-acre, 10,000-merchant Central de Abastos in Oaxaca as well as tiny tianguises in Tabasco. Blending immersive research and passionate appreciation, David Sterling’s final opus is at once a must-have cookbook and a literary feast for the gastronome.
