In Juarez, maquiladora manufacturing on the rebound _ but drug violence dangers still loom - latimes.com: "CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (AP) — Despite a weak U.S. economy and a drug war that has turned this city into Mexico's deadliest, the maquiladoras are on the rebound.

The MexicoBlog of the Americas Program, a fiscally sponsored program of the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), is written by Laura Carlsen. I monitor and analyze international press on Mexico, with a focus on security, immigration, human rights and social movements for peace and justice, from a feminist perspective.
