Faced with complex, patriarchal and desolate scenarios resulting from neoliberalism, agri-food globalization, global warming and the contamination of native grains by the imposition of transgenics, the book question whether there is any alternative to preserve the native maize as a multi-strategic resource (as food, economic, cultural, ecological and technological) taking into account the current conditions of social inequalities of gender, ethnicity, class and age that predominate in the Mexican countryside. To answer some questions, this book presents some alternatives through diverse feminine experiences and of gender relations around corn and food. All of them show that it is possible to build a critical mass to safeguard native corn under these desolating conditions, but as long as this "tortilla is turned over", it will lead to the beginning of another humanized and in sync with nature reality. "In the face of complex, patriarchal and desolate scenarios and in full renegotiations of the North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), where from here (we) we favor the withdrawal of corn and the basic grains of the agricultural chapter, we question whether there is give you an alternative to preserve native corn as a multi-strategic resource, with the conditions of social inequalities (of gender, ethnicity, class and age) that predominate in the Mexican countryside. The purpose of this work is to respond with diverse experiences, many feminine and gender related around corn, that it is possible to build a critical mass to safeguard it, but always and when the "tortilla turns"; the metaphor that gives rise to the beginning of another reality."
