Claudio Lomnitz Interviewed on Violence in Mexico (North American Congress on Latin America)

The North American Congress on Latin America published an extensive interview Sept. 25 with Claudio Lomnitz for its story, "Violence Is Deeply Intertwined with the State.”

The story summary reads, "10 years after the Ayotzinapa case blew the lid off Mexico’s ongoing disappearance crisis, anthropologist Claudio Lomnitz unpacks the much bigger picture surrounding the 43 students."

Lomnitz is the Campbell Family Professor and chair of the Anthropology Department and one or 13 recipients in 2024 of the Center for Political Economy's Faculty Grants. The grant supports a workshop series for The Social Study of Forced Disappearance Laba collaboration between Columbia and Barnard faculty, the Columbia library, and multiple Mexican institutions.
