PEACE-BUILDING IN MEXICO: VICTIMS' FAMILIES BETWEEN DISPLACEMENT AND EXTERMINATION

Abstract

This work aims to contextualize the issue of population displacement within the current so-called "war against the narco", which in reality is a war of "mass and selective extermination" of the population, where the displaced have constituted -especially from the from 2007 to approximately 2014 - a "social unobserved". In the first part of this article, in addition to the general information of the subject from reports of human rights organizations, we reflect trends and actors of this process from a newspaper database that we have constructed with the facts of displacement between 2014 and 2018. The second part of the article seeks to reflect on how the relatives of direct victims of this war - murdered or disappeared - are also displaced "socially unobserved", because they have had to abandon their villages, jobs and community life for security first, and for judicial centralization and politics of our country, secondly. In turn, they have managed, through their individual struggles and their articulations in national networks of relatives of victims of war, to transform a personal, family and community drama such as displacement, into an action of social resistance and have strengthened his nonviolent action for truth, justice, reparation and memory.
