| 520 | 1 | |a "Based on the voices of Mayan women, this book re-considers the connections between security, subjectivity and identity. Using the fascinating empirical material of life history interviews, Stern asks how Mayan women's security narratives - as discourses of resistance - both rearticulate and disrupt the main story of security embedded in the modern 'paradox of sovereignty'." "By engaging in a careful reading of how Mayan women 'speak' security in the spatio-temporal contexts that inform their lives (the family, the Ladino society, their organizations, the international political economy and the nation-state), Stern explores the multiplicity of both identity and security." | |
| 520 | 8 | |a "In addition to its theoretical contributions, Naming security - constructing identity offers an innovative methodology that bridges many different disciplines and substantively develops a method for reading security and identity as textual practices. This wide-reaching study will be essential reading for students of security, identity politics, feminist theory and Latin American studies."--Jacket. | |
