Amexica

Más información sobre el libro

Between the interiors of the USA and Mexico lies a borderland: Amexica. A TERRAIN astride the world's busiest frontier, teeming with migrants, factory workers, narcos, tourists, heroines and heroes, ranchers and rogues. A BORDER both porous and harsh, criss-crossed by a million people every day. A WARZONE, where a grotesque pastiche of the globalised economy plays out in a tragedy of unfathomable violence as drug cartels and state forces face off. Amexica is a journey through the daily life of this borderland, through migrant camps, drug-smuggling 'plazas', rehab centres and sweatshop factories. Updated with new material it paints an essential portrait of a country under siege - and a testament to people who carry on regardless. - Publishers description.
