GUERRA MANZO, Enrique. Faces of violent habitus in Michoacán: the districts of Coalcomán and Apatzingán, C. 1930-1980. Estud. hist. mod. contemp. Mex [online]. 2018, n.56, pp.3-34. Epub 09-Mar-2020. ISSN 0185-2620. https://doi.org/10.22201/iih.24485004e.2018.56.63790.
This article analyzes the manifestations of the aggressive habitus in various spaces of the social interactions in the districts of Apatzingán and Coalcomán, southwest of Michoacán, Mexico. It presumes that between 1930 and 1980 in the region coexisted an instrumental violence (agrarian, delinquency, drugs) with a ritual violence (vendettas, pistolerismo). Both kinds of violence were linked to the inefficiency of the Mexican State to offer security in the region. That context of insecurity propitiated the persistence of a violent habitus as well as a culture of honor and of the self-defense.
