MEJOR LIBRO DEL A�O 2023: The New Yorker, The Economist, Biblioteca P�blica de Chicago
Ahmed escribe sobre la violencia en M�xico con perspicacia y sobriedad. Mantiene una distancia cautelosa, muchas veces estimulante, permitiendo que la historia se desarrolle a un ritmo trepidante, entrelazando lo contextual y lo �ntimo en una serie de v�vidas yuxtaposiciones . Cristina Rivera Garza, Premio Pulitzer 2024
Tras el secuestro y asesinato de su hija Karen a manos de Los Zetas, en 2014, Miriam Rodr�guez convirti� su dolor en una cruzada implacable por justicia. Sola, y sin ning�n tipo de entrenamiento, acech� a sicarios, descifr� redes sociales y mape� ranchos abandonados hasta encarcelar a varios de los asesinos. Su lucha no solo fue una venganza, sino tambi�n la viva muestra de un M�xico roto por la corrupci�n institucional, la ausencia de autoridades y el terror que somete a las comunidades. Con obstinaci�n heroica, Miriam encarn� la resistencia de quienes nada tienen que perder porque ya lo perdieron todo.
Azam Ahmed, exjefe de la oficina de The New York Times en M�xico, teje una narrativa �ntima y cruda tras cuatro a�os de investigaci�n. Con agudeza period�stica y la tensi�n de un thriller, retrata la decadencia de San Fernando, Tamaulipas --de pueblo agr�cola a epicentro de masacres-- y muestra c�mo la llamada guerra contra el narco dej� a los ciudadanos librando en solitario batallas que le correspond�an al Estado.
Esta es la historia de Miriam, pero tambi�n la de un pa�s: madres que buscan a sus hijos en fosas clandestinas, familias que entierran fotos a falta de restos, j�venes reclutados en campos de entrenamiento y polic�as coludidos con los criminales.
M�s que un retrato del horror, esta obra es un llamado urgente a la memoria. Un reconocimiento a quienes no cesan de cavar con las manos para encontrar a los suyos. A quienes, por dignidad, se niegan a olvidar.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
FINALIST FOR THE MOORE HUMAN RIGHTS PRIZE
BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023: The New Yorker, The Economist, Chicago Public Library
"Ahmed writes about violence in Mexico with insight and sobriety. He maintains a cautious, often stimulating distance, allowing the story to unfold at a breakneck pace, interweaving the contextual and the intimate in a series of vivid juxtapositions." Cristina Rivera Garza, 2024 Pulitzer Prize
After the kidnapping and murder of her daughter Karen by Los Zetas in 2014, Miriam Rodr�guez turned her grief into an unrelenting quest for justice. Alone and without formal training, she tracked hitmen, decoded social networks, and mapped abandoned ranches until several of the killers were imprisoned. Her struggle was not only vengeance but also a vivid sign of a Mexico fractured by institutional corruption, absent authorities, and the terror that subjugates communities. With heroic obstinacy, Miriam embodied the resistance of those who have nothing left to lose because they have already lost everything.
Azam Ahmed, former Mexico bureau chief for The New York Times, weaves an intimate, raw narrative after four years of investigation. With journalistic acuity and the tension of a thriller, he portrays the decline of San Fernando, Tamaulipas--from agricultural town to epicenter of massacres--and shows how the so-called war on drugs left citizens fighting battles that belonged to the state.
This is Miriam's story, but also the story of a country: mothers searching for their children in clandestine graves, families burying photographs in the absence of remains, youths recruited in training camps, and police colluding with criminals.
More than a portrait of horror, this book is an urgent call to memory. A tribute to those who keep digging with their hands to find their loved ones. To those who, out of dignity, refuse to forget.
