En los ltimos 18 aos nuestro pas pas de horrorizarse ante la guerra a administrar la vida y la muerte. Se ha consentido que el Estado catalogue a personas y a poblaciones como "desechables y superfluas" y fomente as su destruccin material. De esta forma, Mxico ha entrado en un estado de necropoltica, que ha conseguido transformar a sus habitantes en una mercanca intercambiable o desechable, segn dicten los mercados polticos y financieros. En esta obra, a caballo entre el periodismo y el ensayo sociopoltico, Jos Reveles --uno de los decanos del periodismo nacional-- nos muestra la ruta que los mexicanos y sus gobiernos (o mejor dicho, narco gobiernos) han elegido recorrer rumbo a la deshumanizacin. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In Mexico, violence has become an end in itself.
Over the last 18 years, our country has gone from horror at this situation to meting out life and death. We have allowed the State to classify individuals and groups as "disposable and superfluous" and, therefore, candidates for destruction. Mexico has entered a state of "necropolitics" that views the population as so much interchangeable and dispensable merchandise, whose worth is decided by political and economic factors. In this book, somewhere between a journalistic piece and a sociopolitical essay, esteemed journalist Jos Reveles traces the route that Mexicans and their governments (or rather, narcogovernments) have followed in dehumanizing their countrymen.
