«La violencia se nos ha metido debajo de las u?as, bajo la epidermis del pecho, en la sinapsis individual y colectiva. Ante eso Manu Ureste nos entrega este libro magn?fico para resistir. Su empat?a con la vida de las v?ctimas relatadas en sus cr?nicas es un manifiesto period?stico que nos ayuda a imaginar otro destino. Vivir con el narco abre la inteligencia para reflexionar sobre un futuro en el que ser?amos capaces de vivir sin ?l. -Ricardo Raphael
Con un ritmo vertiginoso, un estilo narrativo y una forma de contar y describir escenas que toca sensibilidades, Manu Ureste –periodista de investigaci?n de Animal Pol?tico– muestra la complejidad de la inseguridad en el pa?s. A partir de 17 cr?nicas y una serie fotogr?fica de quienes viven la violencia en sus m?ltiples formas, incluyendo la que proviene de las autoridades, este libro narra las consecuencias atroces de la inoperancia para combatir el crimen organizado y el abandono de los distintos gobiernos en los ?ltimos 17 a?os –desde Felipe Calder?n, pasando por Pe?a Nieto, hasta L?pez Obrador y ahora Claudia Sheinbaum.
With rapid pace, literary style, and a way to tell and describe scenes that strikes a chord, Manu Ureste–investigative journalist for Animal Pol?tico–reveals the complexity of the country’s insecurity. With 17 chronicles and a photographic series of those who experience violence in multiple ways, even from the authorities, this book narrates the atrocious consequences of the ineffectiveness to fight organized crime and the abandonment of the various administrations in the last 17 years, from Felipe Calder?n, to Pe?a Nieto, even L?pez Obrador, and now Claudia Sheinbaum. This book describes the violence in a narco ranch where they performed Santeria rituals and tortured those they kidnapped; it speaks of the children that never made it to their weekend soccer game because an armed convoy got to them; of the indigenous communities that refuse to leave their land despite the threats; of the gangs that chop people’s arms off with machetes if they don’t receive their payments; of those looking for their missing loved ones; of the ordeal migrants go through when crossing through Mexico. Stories that coincide on how narcos and their violence are a part of everyday life. Living with Narcos is not just (another) book about the narco per se. It is a book that recounts a fierce, relentless, all-out war, and explains how organized crime is embedded in the lives of different communities, forcing millions of Mexicans–children, youths, and the civilian population in general–to learn to live with it.
