How American firearms fuel violence in Mexico (rebroadcast)
Mexico, like the United States, has a gun violence problem. It has one of the highest murder rates in the world, and most of those murders come from firearms. In 2019, for example, almost 70% of the country's 35,000 murders involved firearms.But unlike the U.S., Mexico doesn’t have tens of thousands of licensed firearms dealers.
It has two.
So how do so many guns make their way into Mexico? And how do these guns shape Mexican society?
These are two of the questions Ieva Jusionyte explores in her new book “Exit Wounds: How America’s Guns Fuel Violence across the Border (https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520395954/exit-wounds) .” Jusionyte is an anthropologist at the Watson Institute and spent much of the last few years following people whose lives are shaped by guns in Mexico. Guns, which, by and large, come from the United States.
On this episode, which was originally broadcast in May 2024, Jusionyte discusses the impact of American firearms on Mexican society and the role they play in spreading violence and trauma on both sides of the border.
