"From a critical feminist perspective, in this work the author presents methodological reflections on socio-anthropological work in prison and analyzes the experiences of trans* women who were imprisoned in a men's prison in Mexico City. Through a transdisciplinary dialogue, which recovers the perspective of experiences from body and gender studies, she explores the multiple forms of violence that trans * women have experienced before, during and after prison.
Likewise, she shows how the prison constitutes an institution permeated by power and organized according to specific laws, which reproduces and deepens gender inequalities and transphobic violence, attempting to impose a unique way of living gender. This book contributes to studies on the prison system and gender violence in Mexico, showing us how trans* women face social structures that constrain and violate them, and how they explore spaces for resistance."
