VELOZ, Areli. The gender ideology and the consolidation of the new right in Baja California, Mexico. Alteridades [online]. 2021, vol.31, n.62, pp.147-158.  Epub 21-Fev-2022. ISSN 2448-850X.  https://doi.org/10.24275/uam/izt/dcsh/alteridades/2021v31n62/veloz.

This article from a qualitative analysis perspective, explains the actions of the middle and upper classes to shape and strengthen, at the local level, the new right. I analyze the historical context and the social unrest that these groups attribute to family crises and traditional sexualities, which redefine their critical discourses towards “gender ideology”. The originality of this article is that it shows how political discourses underlie a creationist vision of life where women are seen as responsible for the parturition of the nation’s future citizens. It is concluded that the strategies of the new right, implicitly, consist on defending and strengthening the patriarchy, which they see as imperiled by feminism.
