“In this beautifully written and personal account, Rosa-Linda Fregoso succeeds in divesting the feminicides in Ciudad Juarez and elsewhere in the region of their individualizing spectacularity. The Force of Witness shows us how these violences intimately shape the lives of survivors, as they also reflect the heteropatriarchal dimensions of persisting structures of racial capitalism.”
Patricia Ravelo
“In this book Rosa-Linda Fregoso expresses the devastating experiences of suffering with a highly ethical and respectful approach. The resistance of women who have been wounded by feminicide is a lesson in love for life, since witnessing in The Force of the Witness is crucial in proving the atrocities of feminicide so that they are not forgotten. The Force of Witness thus restores the humanist sense that society has lost.”
