Descripción
Sumario:In this article, we analyze the political framework of state control during the Juarez regime, in its final term in office, in light of its recent history. Human rights violations by this political movement were made visible in the media and at the national level in the context of conflict triggered in 2003 by the double murder at La Dársena. We use conceptual tools such as the Juarez state system and the idea of ​​the Juarez state to understand the political socialization and system of domination that extended their networks to the margins of illegality. The main contribution of fieldwork to our ethnography is the two native categories on which we will focus our attention: “political work” and the “dirty work” of “Musa and his people.” The latter were convicted for the murder of the young women Leyla and Patricia, found in early 2003, the former dismembered and the latter tortured to death, at La Dársena.
