"Subordinated Autonomy and the Political Inclusion of Women in Indigenous Mexico," written by Associate Professor of Political Science Matthew Cleary, was published in Latin American Politics and Society. The study argues that the act of formalizing autonomy for indigenous communities, in the context of Mexico’s homogenizing neoliberal state, had the unanticipated effect of exposing exclusionary practices to state scrutiny, which eventually forced those communities to recognize women’s political rights. 07/07/20
