Book excerpt: Teun Voeten was originally born in the Netherlands. After a year as an exchange student in New Jersey, he travelled for a while all over Europe. Later, he studied at the School of Visual Arts, New York. Over the years to follow, Voeten covered the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia, Haiti and Rwanda for Dutch, Belgian, German and American publications. Voeten soon developed a taste for the so called 'forgotten wars' and went out to document the ongoing crises in Colombia, Afghanistan, Sudan and Sierra Leone. More recently, he focused his camera on the Gaza strip, the DR Congo and North Korea (design and architecture) as well as Chad (Darfur crisis), Iran, China (pollution) and more recently, in 2012, the Arab Spring in Egypt and Libya. Voeten has been published in Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, NY Times Magazine, National Geographic Magazine, Newsweek, Time, Granta, Village Voice, Frankfurter Allgemeine, among others. His photos are used worldwide by relief organisations such as the International Red Cross, Doctors without Borders, UNICEF, UNHCR, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. AUTHOR: Howard Campbell is Professor of Sociology and Anthropology at the University of Texas at El Paso. He is the co-editor of the University of Texas Press Inter-America Series. Previously he published Drug War Zone: Frontline Dispatches from the Streets of El Paso and Juárez, University of Texas Press. Javier Valdez Cadenas is a Mexican reporter and author who received several international awards for his writing on drug trafficking and organised crime in the Mexican drug war. In 2003, he and other reporters from the daily newspaper Noroeste founded Ríodoce, a weekly dedicated to crime and corruption in Sinaloa, considered one of Mexico's most violent states. He is also the author of several books on drug trafficking, including Miss Narco, which chronicles the lives of the girlfriends and wives of drug lords. In 2011, Valdez Cardenas was awarded the International Press Freedom Award of the Committee to Protect Journalists, "an annual recognition of courageous journalism". In his acceptance speech, he called the violence of Mexican drug trafficking "a tragedy that should shame us", blaming the citizenry of Mexico for giving the drug war its deaths. SELLING POINTS: *Intriguing photo book on drug violence in Mexico *War photographer Teun Voeten investigates the dark side of the Mexican society: murder, violence, criminality and mafia practices *Over the past 5 years, over 50,000 people have been killed in the Mexican drugs war.

Book excerpt: La opinión pública mundial posiciona a México y Colombia como líderes de la existencia, creación y vigencia de los más emblemáticos carteles de la droga, nadie habla de los super carteles enmarañados en entidades oficiales encubridoras y con todas las instancias de poder a su servicio para viabilizar operaciones ilícitas de toneladas de cocaína. Bolivia con su hoja de coca es el "Génesis" del tráfico de cocaína, "Sin COCA no hay COCAÍNA". Estos hechos a su vez dieron inicio a las más horrendas organizaciones criminales que cometieron asesinatos, secuestros, torturas y perversiones a nivel internacional. Damian Merkher expone a todos nosotros a través de una novela estos hechos con un alto nivel histórico y fineza investigativa, con un lenguaje sencillo, claro y ordenado que invita al lector a disfrutar de cada capítulo de una fascinante verdad encubierta por un gobierno corrupto.

Book excerpt: Dentro de un Estado, el régimen político, las instituciones públicas, los políticos, la policía, el ejército, pierden credibilidad y así la legitimidad que deberían tener por el desarrollo del narcotráfico; el narcotráfico puede llegar a competir y sobrepasar la soberanía del Estado, la formación de un Narco-Estado es una amenaza para la seguridad nacional y la estabilidad sociopolítica de cualquier país. El narcotráfico tiene relevancia como fenómeno social, influye en todos los aspectos de la sociedad, en el contexto económico, político, cultural e internacional.En este breve trabajo de investigación, se analiza cómo esta empresa se desarrolla, como se desenvuelve; este libro tuvo como inspiración los Estados en los cuales el narcotráfico se ha desarrollado de manera rampante, como ser México, Colombia y Bolivia; se analiza lo que es el narcotráfico en la política, lo que es el crimen organizado, el narcotráfico en la cultura y el poder económico que esta industria obtiene, poder económico que se usa para fines políticos, llegando a corromper a las diferentes autoridades del Estado y sus instituciones.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary popular culture is riddled with references to Mexican drug cartels, narcos, and drug trafficking. In the United States, documentary filmmakers, journalists, academics, and politicians have taken note of the increasing threats to our security coming from a subculture that appears to feed on murder and brutality while being fed by a romanticism about power and capital. Carlos Alberto Sánchez uses Mexican narco-culture as a point of departure for thinking about the nature and limits of violence, culture, and personhood. A Sense of Brutality argues that violent cultural modalities, of which narco-culture is but one, call into question our understanding of “violence” as a concept. The reality of narco-violence suggests that “violence” itself is insufficient to capture it, that we need to redeploy and reconceptualize “brutality” as a concept that better captures this reality. Brutality is more than violence, other to cruelty, and distinct from horror and terror—all concepts that are normally used interchangeably with brutality, but which, as the analysis suggests, ought not to be. In narco-culture, the normalization of brutality into everyday life is a condition upon which the absolute erasure or derealization of people is made possible. "The study is original, bringing a wide range of voices into dialogue to present a problem that is pressing and deserving of careful analysis. The study will contribute to the field of Latin American philosophy in important ways... This is the only book by a philosopher on the topic of narco-culture, and I think it’s an important contribution to a topic that should be addressed by philosophers." —Elizabeth Millán, DePaul University

Book excerpt: * Mexico was named an Outstanding Academic Title of 2010 by Choice Magazine.Bloodshed connected with Mexican drug cartels, how they emerged, and their impact on the United States is the subject of this frightening book. Savage narcotics-related decapitations, castrations, and other murders have destroyed tourism in many Mexican communities and such savagery is now cascading across the border into the United States. Grayson explores how this spiral of violence emerged in Mexico, its impact on the country and its northern neighbor, and the prospects for managing it.Mexico's Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) ruled in Tammany Hall fashion for seventy-nine years before losing the presidency in 2000 to the center-right National Action Party (PAN). Grayson focuses on drug wars, prohibition, corruption, and other antecedents that occurred during the PRI's hegemony. He illuminates the diaspora of drug cartels and their fragmentation, analyzes the emergence of new gangs, sets forth President Felipe Calderi?1/2n's strategy against vicious criminal organizations, and assesses its relative success. Grayson reviews the effect of narcotics-focused issues in U.S.-Mexican relations. He considers the possibility that Mexico may become a failed state, as feared by opinion-leaders, even as it pursues an aggressive but thus far unsuccessful crusade against the importation, processing, and sale of illegal substances.Becoming a failed state involves two dimensions of state power: its scope, or the different functions and goals taken on by governments, and its strength, or the government's ability to plan and execute policies. The Mexican state boasts an extensive scope evidenced by its monopoly over the petroleum industry, its role as the major supplier of electricity, its financing of public education, its numerous retirement and health-care programs, its control of public universities, and its dominance

Book excerpt: The 4th Small Wars JournalEl Centro anthology comes at a pivotal time, roughly a third of the way through the term, for the Enrique Pea Nieto administration in Mexico. The mass kidnapping and execution of 43 rural student teachers in Iguala, Guerrero in late September 2014 has only served to further highlight the corruptive effects of organized crime on the public institutions in that country. In addition, many other states in Latin America are now suffering at the hands of criminal insurgents who are threatening their citizens and challenging their sovereign rights.

Book excerpt: This “investigative magnum opus” offers a jaw-dropping history of Mexican drug cartels as it transports readers to the frontlines of the ‘war on drugs’ in Latin America (Los Angeles Times). “A riveting story . . . [from] an incredibly brave journalist.” —NPR The “war on drugs” has so far cost more than 60,000 lives. Hernández explains in riveting detail how Mexico became a base for the mega-cartels of Latin America and one of the most violent places on the planet. At every turn, Hernández names not just the narcos, but also the politicians, functionaries, judges, and entrepreneurs who have collaborated with them. In doing so, she reveals the mind-boggling depth of corruption in Mexico’s government and business elite. Hernández became a journalist after her father was kidnapped and killed and the police refused to investigate without a bribe. She gained national prominence in 2001 with her exposure of excess and misconduct at the presidential palace, and previous books have focused on criminality at the summit of power, under presidents Vicente Fox and Felipe Calderón. The product of 5 years’ investigative reporting—and the subject of intense national controversy—Narcoland is a publishing and political sensation in Mexico.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Brutally honest... a deeply extraordinary and original work.” - SEBASTIAN JUNGER. With an estimated 250,000 people killed in 15 years, the Mexican drug war is the most violent conflict in the Western world. It shows no sign of abating. In this book, Dr Teun A. Voeten analyzes the dynamics of the violence. He argues it is a new type of war called hybrid warfare: multidimensional, elusive and unpredictable, fought at different levels, with different intensities with multiple goals. The war ISIS has declared against the West is another example of hybrid warfare. Voeten interprets drug cartels as ultra-capitalist predatory corporations thriving in a neoliberal, globalized economy. They use similar branding and marketing strategies as legitimate business. He also looks at the anthropological, individual level and explains how people can become killers. Voeten compares Mexican sicarios, West African child soldiers and Western jihadis and sees the same logic of cruelty that facilitates perpetrating ‘inhumane’ acts that are in fact very human.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most surprising developments in Mexico's transition to democracy is the outbreak of criminal wars and large-scale criminal violence. Why did Mexican drug cartels go to war as the country transitioned away from one-party rule? And why have criminal wars proliferated as democracy has consolidated and elections have become more competitive subnationally? In Votes, Drugs, and Violence, Guillermo Trejo and Sandra Ley develop a political theory of criminal violence in weak democracies that elucidates how democratic politics and the fragmentation of power fundamentally shape cartels' incentives for war and peace. Drawing on in-depth case studies and statistical analysis spanning more than two decades and multiple levels of government, Trejo and Ley show that electoral competition and partisan conflict were key drivers of the outbreak of Mexico's crime wars, the intensification of violence, and the expansion of war and violence to the spheres of local politics and civil society.

Book excerpt: Mexico is a country in crisis. Capitalizing on weakened public institutions, widespread unemployment, a state of lawlessness and the strengthening of links between Mexican and Colombian drug cartels, narcotrafficking in the country has flourished during the post-1982 neoliberal era. In fact, it has become one of Mexico's biggest source of revenue, as well as its most violent, with over 12,000 drug-related executions in 2011 alone. In response, Mexican president Felipe Calderón, armed with millions of dollars in US military aid, has launched a crackdown, ostensibly to combat organised crime. Despite this, human rights violations have increased, as has the murder rate, making Ciudad Juárez on the northern border the most dangerous city on the planet. Meanwhile, the supply of cocaine, heroin, marijuana and methamphetamine has continued to grow. In this insightful and controversial book, Watt and Zepeda throw new light on the situation, contending that the 'war on drugs' in Mexico is in fact the pretext for a US-backed strategy to bolster unpopular neoliberal policies, a weak yet authoritarian government and a radically unfair status quo.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributors to Cocaine analyze the contemporary production, transit, and consumption of cocaine throughout the Americas and the illicit economy's entanglement with local communities. Based on in-depth interviews and archival research, these essays examine how government agents, acting both within and outside the law, and criminal actors seek to manage the flow of illicit drugs to both maintain order and earn profits. Whether discussing the moral economy of coca cultivation in Bolivia, criminal organizations and drug traffickers in Mexico, or the routes cocaine takes as it travels into and through Guatemala, the contributors demonstrate how entire ways of life are built around cocaine commodification. They consider how the authority of state actors is coupled with the self-regulating practices of drug producers, traffickers, and dealers, complicating notions of governance and of the relationships between economic and moral economies. The collection also outlines a more progressive drug policy that acknowledges the important role drugs play in the lives of those at the urban and rural margins. Contributors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Si no hacemos preguntas atrevidas sobre lo que creemos no crecemos interiormente, no asumimos conscientemente lo que nos dijeron de pequeños que deberíamos creer. Creer como se cree de niño o de joven no es lo mismo que como se cree de adulto puesto que se han adquirido marcos de referencia que permiten analizar críticamente lo que nos enseñaron de la religión, de Dios, de la vida después de la muerte, del sentido ético y moral de la presente vida. De adulto se tiene la capacidad desarrollada para percibir las contradicciones entre lo que se ve y se constata en el diario vivir, y lo que dicen los "profesionales" que debe ser la realidad espiritual. No escribo como teólogo, aunque estudié teología. No escribo como filósofo, aunque estudié filosofía. No escribo como sociólogo aunque estudié sociología. No quiero hacer un tratado de teología, ni de filosofía, ni de sociología. Escribo para creyentes como yo, que están en la búsqueda de respuestas más satisfactorias a las preguntas que tienen de su fe cristiana. Escribo con el fin de compartir estas reflexiones que han zumbado por mi espíritu inquisidor y que, sólo en la soledad del encuentro personal con mi propia autenticidad en el pensar y sentir, he encontrado soluciones satisfactorias. Escribo para compartir con los que lean estas ideas duramente trabajadas, que me han servido para solucionar las contradicciones que he encontrado en la fe cristiana con la que crecí. Mi empeño al escribir estas notas es compartir con el lector aquello que me llevó a sentirme vivo en mi fe, vibrando de emoción al comprender y aceptar que hay diferentes perspectivas que pueden iluminarnos y llevarnos a entender que Dios se manifiesta de diferentes formas de acuerdo con la cultura, con los esquemas mentales, con la riqueza del tiempo, con la antigüedad y madurez de aquellos a quienes Él les habla, en cada etapa en que Él decide que tiene que hacerlo porque ese segmento de la humanidad lo necesita. Esta es pues, una invitación de coraje. Acompáñeme, estimado lector, en la revisión audaz de muchas creencias con las cuales nos criamos y absorbimos sin ningún cuestionamiento para descubrir respuestas diferentes y valederas.
