Beschrijving Together We Fight

"Ñusta Carranza Ko offers a harrowing account of systemic obstetric violence in Peru, which she doesn't flinch from analyzing as genocide. Her work is also about the bonds built through resistance, activism, and the pursuit of justice. Together We Fight comes together as a work of brave, persistent, and probing human rights scholarship."--Ronald Niezen, author of The Origins of Indigenism: Human Rights and the Politics of Identity

"Over 250,000 mainly Indigenous women were affected by the shocking campaign of forced sterilization in Peru in the second half of the 1990s. In her passionate ethnography, Carranza Ko focuses on the victims to present a compelling story of survival and agency."--A. Dirk Moses, author of The Problems of Genocide: Permanent Security and the Language of Transgression

"Carranza Ko intricately weaves together the connections between public policies and biopolitical control, as well as the forms of resistance enacted by women often treated as a 'sacrificial population.' This book not only exposes the process of forced sterilizations but also examines the experiences of the victims and their strategies for achieving transitional justice."--Rocío Silva-Santisteban, author of Women and Ecoterritorial Conflicts
