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.

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: Análisis profundo del avance del poder narco y del aumento de la producción, tráfico y consumo de drogas en la Argentina a partir de casos con impacto en la opinión pública. Repaso crítico de experiencias internacionales y propuesta de directrices de política pública para evitar que la Argentina se convierta en un narco-estado. El poder narco es la amenaza de gobernabilidad más significativa que enfrenta el país en muchísimo tiempo. Este libro lo analiza con mucho más rigor y profundidad del que ese poder desearía. Lo que aquí se devela es más que la producción, el tráfico y el consumo de drogas en sí mismos. Es una trama de intereses en la que se juega si la Argentina se convierte o no en un narco-estado capaz de modificar para siempre nuestra forma de vida, poner en riesgo nuestra seguridad y naturalizar la violencia. A partir del análisis de casos resonantes que tuvieron impacto mediático, este libro desmenuza cada uno de los complejos aspectos del avance del poder narco y va más allá: no se contenta con el diagnóstico; propone soluciones. Defensores de la idea de un Estado democrático, eficaz y eficiente que estimule la participación inteligente de la sociedad civil, Burzaco y Berensztein repasan críticamente los aprendizajes de la experiencia internacional, abogan por el diseño de políticas públicas informadas, consistentes e integrales y -tal vez lo más importante- ofrecen argumentos sólidos para vigorizar un debate impostergable en la esfera pública.

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

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A partir de los ejes centrales, memoria y violencia, el libro traza un recorrido por los textos literarios y testimoniales publicados por exmilitantes del movimiento armado socialista en Mexico, desde fines de la decada de los setenta hasta nuestros dias. Pese a la amplia produccion escrituraria y practicas de memoria, estas dificilmente han sido reconocidas en su doble estatuto politico y estetico. El libro analiza, la dinamica de formacion y disputas por la fijacion de una memoria emblematica, asi como las coyunturas politicas y marcos interpretativos que las atravesaron, abordando la literatura carcelaria, asi como los debates en torno a la rectificacion versus la afirmacion y continuidad de la lucha armada, la denuncia de la tortura, la reemergencia de la memoria en el marco de la alternancia partidista y las nuevas agencias como el testimonios de familiares de desaparecidos y de las mujeres que participaron de la lucha armada.

Book excerpt: The 4th Small Wars Journal—El Centro anthology comes at a pivotal time, roughly a third of the way through the term, for the Enrique Peña 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.
