Specificatii
A massive wave of violence has rippled across Mexico over the past
decade. In the western state of Sinaloa, the birthplace of modern
drug trafficking, ordinary citizens live in constant fear of being
taken--kidnapped or held against their will by armed men, whether
criminals, police, or both. This remarkable collection of firsthand
accounts by prize-winning journalist Javier Valdez Cardenas
provides a uniquely human perspective on life in Sinaloa during the
drug war. The reality of the Mexican drug war, a conflict fueled by
uncertainty and fear, is far more complex than the images conjured
in popular imagination. Often missing from news reports is the
perspective of ordinary people--migrant workers, schoolteachers,
single mothers, businessmen, teenagers, petty criminals, police
officers, and local journalists--people whose worlds center not on
drugs or illegal activity but on survival and resilience, truth and
reconciliation. Building on a rich tradition of testimonial
literature, Valdez Cardenas recounts in gripping detail how people
deal not only with the constant threat of physical violence but
also with the fear, uncertainty, and guilt that afflict survivors
and witnesses. Mexican journalists who dare expose the drug war's
inconvenient political and social realities are censored and
smeared, murdered, and disappeared. This is precisely why we need
to hear from seasoned local reporters like Valdez Cardenas who
write about the places where they live, rely on a network of
trusted sources built over decades, and tell the stories behind the
headline-grabbing massacres and scandals. In his informative
introduction to the volume, translator Everard Meade orients the
reader to the broader armed conflict in Mexico and explains the
unique role of Sinaloa as its epicenter. Reports on border politics
and infamous drug traffickers may obscure the victims' suffering.
The Taken helps ensure that their stories will not be forgotten or
suppressed.
