Abstract

This dissertation examines, analyzes, and explain, through literary representation, a multiplicity of violent phenomena in Mexico. From drug trafficking to gender violence, this collection of essays seeks to pinpoint at the causes of this violence, its origins, and its evolution. By using a wide array of Latin American authors from the 20th and 21st century, each of these chapters looks at a specific angle of the violence that has plagued contemporary Mexico.
