Abstract
Not One More! offers a vivid and visceral history of the more than 2,000 feminicidios (femicides) that have been perpetrated in the border city of Juárez, Mexico, since the 1990s. Author Nina Maria Lozano argues that feminicidios in Juárez must be viewed and addressed through a materialist framework that can make maquila- doras visible as spaces where gendered violence is perpetrated through and by wealth disparities. Maquiladoras are assembly factories that are integral to neoliberal economic projects such as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). In these maquiladoras, owned by U.S corporations, poor Mexican women are hired to work in exploitative conditions assembling consumer products. Lozano argues that these conditions make “ the women workers in Juárez. . . materially readily disposable and easy to replace ” (50).
