There are stories that find you. But that happens to journalists and rarely academics. Mike and I arrived in Sinaloa from San Diego, California for a project on the relationship of local media and international press. We wanted to understand what are the stories that journalists sinaloenses want to tell and how they are different from the \u201cwar on drugs\u201d coverage from the foreign press.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Los mapas de papel<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A year before our trip, Mike had worked with Natalia Reyes, activists and feminist, producing maps on femicides in Veracruz, Baja California, and Sinaloa. When Mike told her about our trip, Natalia suggested a conversation to discuss the possibility of using visual tools, like maps, to help groups searching for their missing loved ones.<\/span><\/p>

That night Natalia explained how the mothers searching for their children are not only excavating the state looking for human remains, but facing challenges in their interactions with state authorities. She told us about Eleazar Hern\u00e1ndez, better known as \u201cRayito\u201d who went missing in Jalisco after traveling from Culiac\u00e1n to be a judge in a dance competition. Even though Rayito\u2019s mom had submitted DNA samples in Jalisco and Sinaloa, Rayito\u2019s body remained at the coroner\u2019s office for months before being identified. Because of the work of mothers searching for their loved ones in both states, Rayito was able to return home and not end up buried in a common grave.<\/p>

Natalia cautioned us that our conversation with Isabel Cruz, founder of\u00a0the Sabuesos Guerreras group,<\/a>would not be easy. Battles with those who should protect citizens have also fostered distrust. The next morning, Natalia, Mike and I visited Isabel\u2019s home, which also functions as Sabuesos Guerreras headquarters. One of the first things we noticed, were the paper maps hung on the walls that with thumb tacks of different colors identifying places where they had searched. While showcasing their fight, the maps also brought to the fore the fragility and precarity of their work.<\/p>

One day we will ask Isabel what she saw in us. La jefa, as Isabel is known, shared with us how other researchers had requested her \u201cdata\u201d, but she had declined. After all, the manila folders were not only files but evidence of the lives of their children. Mike and I left that meeting full of ideas, but also aware of our responsibility of acknowledging the limits of what we could do.<\/p>

M\u00e1s all\u00e1 de la colaboraci\u00f3n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Three principle were clear and have guided our collaboration with Sabuesos Guerreras:<\/p>

  1. Information belongs to Sabuesos Guerreras<\/li>
  2. This was not an academic project, but a collaboration where tools from academia could help activists<\/li>
  3. Our support would be data-centric: improving data organization and archiving techniques. We not only wanted to preserve the memory of the work done by Sabuesos Guerreras, we wanted to give them products that would help in their interactions with authorities.<\/li><\/ol>

    The process has been informed by the same collective spirit that guides searches. From the Center for U.S.-Mexican Studies at the University of California San Diego we formed a partnership with Siria Gast\u00e9lum from the Global Initiative against Transnational Organized crime in order to improve Sabuesos\u2019 equipment for recording and saving data. Natalia Reyes, and her Feministas Alteradas are intellectual authors and travel companions, Norma S\u00e1nchez, committed culichi with her state and country, has been instrumental for the success of this collaboration, and Dante Aguilera has donated his time and space to allow our work.<\/p>

    This process has been one of the most enriching ones Mike and I have had in our careers, precisely because it has not only been a scholarly endeavor. The day we presented at the Juan Panadero workshop, the maps<\/a> we produced, with the information we were entrusted with, the Sabuesos said to us \u201cwe are not alone\u201d. Afterwards we sang \u201clas ma\u00f1anitas\u201d for one of them on his birthday and sent light wherever he is.<\/p>

    There is a lot that remains to be done. The alliance with Marcos Vizcarra and Revista Espejo<\/a> es nuestra contribuci\u00f3n para humanizar y visibilizar las voces que ahora innegablemente hacen parte de nuestra historia como pa\u00eds. Nuestra expectativa es tambi\u00e9n una invitaci\u00f3n para que este tipo de Collaboration<\/a> entre la academia, la sociedad civil, el periodismo de investigaci\u00f3n y tambi\u00e9n las autoridades contin\u00faen para regresar a casa a quienes no han sido encontrados.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
