Las investigaciones contempor�neas sobre el papel de las mujeres en el tr�fico de drogas lamentablemente siguen siendo deficientes. Este libro es solo la punta del iceberg en la comprensi�n de su rol dentro del crimen organizado latinoamericano y la cultura que las rodea .
Pablo Escobar, Joaqu�n el Chapo Guzm�n y Rafael Caro Quintero son personajes mundialmente famosos, a quienes la prensa y el entretenimiento popularizaron al grado de convertirlos en leyendas. Los narcotraficantes son, por definici�n, hombres. Y aunque junto a ellos tambi�n figuran varias mujeres como piezas clave de la barbarie, estas suelen ser descritas con narrativas simplistas y estereotipos que las hacen ver como v�ctimas o amantes; madres abnegadas o crueles c�mplices. Ellas -igual o m�s despiadadas que los capos m�s temidos- anhelan la fama, el dinero y el poder tanto como un hombre; ejercen violencia y buscan su beneficio.
En Narcas, Deborah Bonello, exdirectora editorial de VICE News para Latinoam�rica y actual editora general de InSight Crime, revela el ascenso de las mujeres en los c�rteles de droga. En estas p�ginas, plasma las historias de narcas como Luz Fajardo Campos, conocida como la versi�n femenina del Chapo ; Digna Valle, aliada estrat�gica del C�rtel de Sinaloa; Marllory Chac�n, una de las narcotraficantes m�s prol�ficas de Centroam�rica, seg�n el Departamento del Tesoro de Estados Unidos; y de muchas otras cuya condici�n de mujeres les ha permitido manejar los hilos del narcotr�fico desde la penumbra.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
"Contemporary research on the role of women in drug trafficking is unfortunately still deficient. This book is only the tip of the iceberg in understanding their role within Latin American organized crime and the culture surrounding them."
Pablo Escobar, Joaqu�n El Chapo Guzm�n, and Rafael Caro Quintero are world-famous figures, popularized by the press and entertainment to the point of becoming legends. Drug traffickers are, by definition, men. Yet alongside them, many women have also played key roles in the brutality, though they are often portrayed through simplistic narratives and stereotypes--as victims or lovers, devoted mothers or cruel accomplices. These women--equally or even more ruthless than the most feared kingpins--crave fame, money, and power just as much as men; they exercise violence and pursue their own gain.
In Narcas, Deborah Bonello, former editorial director of VICE News Latin America and current editor-in-chief of InSight Crime, reveals the rise of women in drug cartels. Within these pages, she recounts the stories of narcas such as Luz Fajardo Campos, known as "the female version of El Chapo"; Digna Valle, strategic ally of the Sinaloa Cartel; Marllory Chac�n, one of Central America's most prolific traffickers according to the U.S. Treasury Department; and many others whose condition as women has allowed them to pull the strings of drug trafficking from the shadows.
