In 2024, El Colegio de la Frontera Norte (El Colef) has been actively involved in the publication and re-publication of several significant works, in collaboration with various institutions. These books are essential for readers interested in topics like governance, deportation, and migration.
One noteworthy publication is “State, Creative Economy, and Employment in Mexico,” coordinated by José María Ramos García and Rosa Isabel Medina Parra.

This work documents experiences and lessons from the first year of the “Humanizing Deportation” project, offering unique insights into the lives of those affected by deportation.
The book “Beyond Forced Disappearance and Sexual Torture” by Julia Estela Monárrez Fragoso addresses issues of social suffering and memory, drawing on experiences and work done by feminist and human rights organizations in Bogotá, Medellín, and Cúcuta, Colombia. The book explores critical events that lead to extreme situations like forced disappearance and sexual torture.
Latin American realities are explored in “The Dance of the Extinct: Juvenicide, Violence, and Cartel Powers in Latin America” by José Manuel Valenzuela Arce, who provides an interpretative framework regarding the socio-cultural and economic factors leading to violence and precariousness affecting youth, centered on the concept of juvenicide.
Lastly, “Early Migration: Mobility and Displacement of Children, Adolescents, and Youth Across Latin America,” coordinated by Alberto Hernández and Jhonnatan Curiel, brings together expertise from across Uruguay, Brazil, Colombia, El Salvador, Honduras, and Mexico. This book compiles insights from the ninth school of the Ibero-American Postgraduate Network on Childhood and Youth, discussing migration motivations and the specific contexts these young individuals navigate.
