O knihe

This book examines gender dynamics in Latin American media and communication, offering an interdisciplinary analysis that spans journalism, politics, feminism, and digital platforms. Organized into four parts, the volume moves from historical and structural issues to contemporary challenges, addressing phenomena such as feminist marches, anti-gender campaigns, and digital mobilisation, while emphasising the real-world implications of media dynamics on the lives of women in Latin America. Combining intersectional analysis with empirical case studies, the book speaks to scholars of gender, media, and politics as well as practitioners, activists, and students seeking to understand contemporary Latin American societies.

Fernanda Vidal-Correa is Professor at Escuela de Comunicación, Universidad Panamericana, Mexico City. Her research focuses on the intersections of gender, political communication, and political representation. She analyses how political communication can function as either a booster or a barrier to women’s political careers, shaping their opportunities to attain office. Her work also examines how women in elected positions represent—or fail to represent—women’s rights in legislative and executive contexts. She previously served as Director of Research at the Escuela de Comunicación, Universidad Panamericana, and as Deputy Member of the former UN High-Level Panel on Women’s Economic Empowerment. She is the editor of Political Representation and Gender Equality in Mexico (Palgrave Macmillan, 2022) and has published in the Journal of Gender-Based Violence (2025), Ola Financiera (2024), and the Journal of Multicultural Discourses (2022).
