Thanks to a CLACLS Summer Travel Fellowship I spent a month in Mexico City conducting research on the Movimiento por la Paz con Justicia y Dignidad, a grassroots movement that, led by the poet Javier Sicilia, fighted for the rights of the victims of the Mexican Drug War. At the Hemeroteca Nacional de México I was able to collect essays, chronicles, and interviews relevant to the matter that have not appeared in book and that I could not obtain otherwise. I also visited and documented official and unofficial memorials for the victims located in the city.
