Synopsis "LA IRA DE MEXICO (En papel)"

Encabezados por el prólogo de Elena Poniatowska. Premio Cervantes 2013. Lydia Cacho. Diego Enrique Osorno. Sergio González Rodríguez. Juan Villoro. Anabel Hernández. Emiliano Ruiz Parra y Marcela Turati. siete de las voces más reconocidas del periodismo y la literatura de México. alzan sus plumas para explicar al mundo qué ocurre y denunciar la dramática situación de su país.

En los últimos doce años México se ha convertido en el epicentro internacional del tráfico de drogas. Cuando en el 2006 el presidente Felipe Calderón asumió el poder en medio de una fuerte contestación popular. decidió legitimarse declarando la guerra a los cárteles. El resultado fue una asombrosa escalada que ha provocado casi 100.000 muertos atribuibles a la lucha contra la droga. y una consecuencia más grave si cabe. la proliferación de la violencia hasta alcanzar los 25.000 homicidios por año. Inmigrantes. mujeres. periodistas. estudiantes... las víctimas están en todas partes y solo una vigorosa sociedad civil parece plantar cara al horror y al caos.

Este libro imprescindible y estremecedor constituye un alegato fundamental que recopila el trabajo de siete voces incontestables del periodismo mexicano que se han reunido para explicar al mundo qué ocurre y denunciar la devastadora situación de su país. La voz de la indignación es también la voz de la libertad. y en este mundo globalizado la tragedia que vive México nos concierne a todos.

Lydia María Cacho Ribeiro (1963, Mexico City) is a renowned Mexican journalist, writer, and activist, specialized in investigating human trafficking, child abuse, and corruption. Since 1986, she has lived in Cancún, Quintana Roo, where she has promoted the foundation of the Comprehensive Care Center for Women and the National Network of Shelters for Women Victims of Violence.
Her most notable work, the book The Demons of Eden (2005), exposed a child exploitation network linked to high-level businessmen and politicians. As a result of this publication, Cacho was arbitrarily arrested, kidnapped, and tortured in 2005 by security forces of the State of Mexico, leading to a landmark case before the Inter-American Court of Human Rights and a public apology from the Mexican state in 2019.

Lydia Cacho has been an advisor to the Oasis Foundation, the University of the Caribbean, and a consultant for the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM). She is also the author of more than a dozen books translated into several languages, including Memoirs of an Infamy, Slaves of Power, and Letters of Love and Rebellion. She has received numerous international awards, including the UNESCO/Guillermo Cano World Press Freedom Prize, the Olof Palme Prize, the Harold Pinter Prize, and the National Don Sergio Méndez Arceo Prize for the Defense of Human Rights. Her journalistic and activist work has been recognized as a benchmark in the defense of human rights and the fight against impunity.
