Description

En México, la violencia se ha convertido en un fin en sí mismo.

En los últimos 18 años nuestro país pasó de horrorizarse ante la guerra a administrar la vida y la muerte.

Se ha consentido que el Estado catalogue a personas y a poblaciones como “desechables y superfluas” y fomente así su destrucción material.

De esta forma, México ha entrado en un estado de necropolítica, que ha conseguido transformar a sus habitantes en una mercancía intercambiable o desechable, según dicten los mercados políticos y financieros.

En esta obra, a caballo entre el periodismo y el ensayo sociopolítico, José Reveles —uno de los decanos del periodismo nacional— nos muestra la ruta que los mexicanos y sus gobiernos (o mejor dicho, narco gobiernos) han elegido recorrer rumbo a la deshumanización.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In Mexico, violence has become an end in itself.

Over the last 18 years, our country has gone from horror at this situation to meting out life and death.  

We have allowed the State to classify individuals and groups as “disposable and superfluous” and, therefore, candidates for destruction.

Mexico has entered a state of “necropolitics” that views the population as so much interchangeable and dispensable merchandise, whose worth is decided by political and economic factors.

In this book, somewhere between a journalistic piece and a sociopolitical essay, esteemed journalist José Reveles traces the route that Mexicans and their governments (or rather, narcogovernments) have followed in dehumanizing their countrymen.

About the Author

JOSÉ REVELES (1944) ha sido periodista durante casi seis décadas. Los reportajes y más de una docena de libros que ha escrito se enfocan invariablemente en los derechos humanos. Desde la perspectiva de las víctimas, aborda temas como la corrupción oficial, el narcotráfico y la violencia. Ha ganado dos veces el Premio Nacional de Periodismo. En esta obra explica cómo operan los gobiernos en un trabajo de muerte que cosifica al ciudadano: necropolítica y narcogobierno van de la mano para justificar estados de excepción, crear una noción ficticia del enemigo y encubrir una realidad corrupta en la que se reprime a ciertos grupos de la delincuencia y a las mayorías empobrecidas, mientras que se protege a organizaciones criminales empoderadas e impunes.
