Flows of Violence offers a profound ethnographic exploration of the intricate relationship between violence and water infrastructure in one of Colombia’s most marginalized cities. This groundbreaking work engages with the concept of “infrastructural violence,” revealing how the Colombian state’s neglect and inadequate provision of water services perpetuate inequality and suffering among Buenaventura’s residents. Through extensive fieldwork, FernÁndez provides rich empirical data and firsthand accounts that bring to light the daily struggles and resilience of the city’s inhabitants. The book critically examines how everyday crime and state neglect intersect, altering the improvised practices of water storage and access among the population. It also highlights the innovative mechanisms employed by social movements and ordinary citizens to cope with and resist these challenges. Flows of Violence is an essential read for scholars in anthropology, geography, and Latin American studies, offering valuable insights into the sociopolitical impacts of infrastructure. This timely contribution underscores the urgent need for equitable infrastructure development and social justice, making it a pivotal text for understanding urban poverty and state dynamics in Latin America and beyond.

This is the definitive book about moving to Mexico. Everyone knows that you can live well on a fraction of what it takes to live in America or Canada. What people don't know is that parts of Mexico are so severely polluted that people are dying from it, and this includes popular expatriate destinations. So polluted that just showering can expose you to carcinogenic toxins in the water. In another very popular expatriate destination children are dying from breathing the pesticides evaporating from a large lake. This book covers it all including what most others ignore, the pollution. You will see the preparation, what is needed to attain legal residency, the draw, the climates, the food, the culture, holidays and festivals. Then you will see the places that you don't want to live and the places that you do. It is all covered, each city in detail with the location, the average weather, the geography, the history, activities, the crime there and the pollution. This is everything that you need to know that the realtors, the tourism industry, the local newspapers (that depend on local businesses) and the city representatives are not telling you. Make an informed decision.
