Anthropologist Claudio Lomnitz on Forced Disappearance and Security Militarization in Mexico by Unpacking Latin America published on 2020-10-19T18:00:35Z Claudio Lomnitz discusses in this episode the plight of the more than 70,000 disappeared or missing people in Mexico and their search by family members. This search does not confront a strategic plan but a complicit and weak state, which contributes both willingly and unwillingly. He further talks about Mexico’s violence as a symptom of government incapacity and its links to the militarization of security, which has continued under the presidency of Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.
