A Narco History
Summary
The term Mexican Drug War misleads. It implies that the ongoing bloodbath, which has now killed well over 100,000 people, is an internal Mexican affair. But this diverts attention from the US role in creating and sustaining the carnage. It's not just that Americans buy drugs from and sell weapons to Mexico's murderous cartels. It's that ever since the US prohibited the use and sale of drugs in the early 1900s, it has pressured Mexico into acting as its border enforcer - with increasingly deadly consequences. Mexico was not a helpless victim. Powerful forces within the country profited hugely from supplying Americans with what their government forbade them. But the policies that spawned the drug war have proved disastrous for both countries. Written by two award-winning authors, one American and the other Mexican, A Narco History reviews the interlocking 20th-century histories that produced this 21st-century calamity and proposes how to end it.

Una storia di narcotraffico
Summary
"Questo è ciò che succederà a chiunque non capisca, il messaggio è destinato a tutti". Ecco un minaccioso narcomanta, poche parole su un lenzuolo insanguinato, in una storia di giornalisti trucidati, cadaveri decapitati, horrorismo, scontri a fuoco e massacri: se tutto questo vi attira significa che la necropolitica funziona e in questo audiobook è spiegato perché. Una narcostoria che apre il sipario sulla vicenda dei quarantatré studenti desaparecidos di Ayotzinapa e si snoda attraverso un secolo di proibizionismo armato in cui Stati Uniti e Messico insieme hanno costruito la politica della guerra alle droghe, con lo scopo di controllare profitti del narcotraffico e popolazioni coinvolte al di qua e al di là del confine più caldo del Nuovo Continente.

Summary
La protagonista de esta novela de Carmen Boullosa retorna, como acaso lo hubieran querido Eurídice o Beatriz, a los territorios de la infancia: esa condición salvajemente desordenada donde se genera la conciencia. La infanta de Antes, salta el cerco del jardín de las palabras para recobrar de ellas su inocencia, sabe que en el miedo principia el alfabeto de su historia: la de una identidad que como su cuerpo escapa a la vida. Antes recibió el Premio Xavier Villaurrutia 1989. Please note: This title is in Spanish.

Duerme [Sleep (Texto Completo)]
Summary
En el contexto de una Nueva España que apenas despierta a su vida de conquistada, y que se apresta a comenzar de lleno la nueva cultura del mestizaje, Carmen Boullosa borda con manos de eperta una ficción que tiene mucho de verdad y otro tanto de imposible. En Duerme presenta el intrincado personaje de Claire, una mujer del "Viejo Mundo" que gusta de vestir como hombre y vivir en tesitura masculina, en la orilla del riesgo, viajera en tierras recién conocidas por Europa. Mientas los españoles construyen piedra sobre piedra la cristiandad donde antes se erguían templos majestuosos, sobre las espaldas y a costa de los indios, Claire se desembaraza, a veces a su pesar, de diversas identidades cuando las situaciones se vuelven más apremiantes. Please note: This title is in Spanish.

Leaving Tabasco
Summary
Carmen Boullosa is one of Mexico's most acclaimed young writers, and Leaving Tabasco tells of the coming-of-age of Delmira Ulloa, raised in an all-female home in Agustini, in the Mexican province of Tabasco. The Washington Post Book World wrote, "We happily share with [Delmira]... her life, including the infinitely charming town she inhabits [and] her grandmother's fantastic imagination." In Agustini, it is not unusual to see your grandmother float above the bed when she sleeps, or to purchase torrential rains at a traveling fair, or to watch your family's elderly serving woman develop stigmata, then disappear completely, to be canonized as a local saint. As Delmira becomes a woman, she will search for her missing father, and will make a choice that will force her to leave home forever. Brimming with the spirit of its irrepressible heroine, Leaving Tabasco is a story of great charm and depth that will remain in its listeners' hearts for a long time.
