by Juan Alberto Vázquez (Author)

Sin lugar a duda, Los padrotes de Tlaxcala es un libro duro y desgarrador que pone de manifiesto el lado perverso de la sociedad de consumo, cuya maquinaria ha creado un mercado para la esclavitud sexual.

Tenancingo, un pequeño poblado de Tlaxcala, es conocido por ser uno de los epicentros de la trata de personas no sólo de México, sino de todo el mundo. Desde ahí familias enteras de padrotes han extendido su millonario negocio por el territorio nacional y buena parte de Estados Unidos. Los distintos gobiernos de México poco han hecho para desmantelar estas redes, sugiriendo así corrupción y complicidad con quienes ejercen este sádico oficio. Pero algunos de estos delincuentes han caído; en esta minuciosa investigación Juan Alberto Vázquez nos cuenta la historia de cinco clanes de padrotes que han sido juzgados en las cortes de Nueva York. Sus violentos inicios, sus métodos para captar niñas y mujeres vulnerables, sus extorsiones, su psicología criminal. A la par, también afloran los testimonios de mujeres víctimas de este delito y su difícil camino para integrarse en sociedad, los esfuerzos de activistas para hacerle frente a la trata, los claroscuros legales en los que se mueven los traficantes de blancas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Undoubtedly, The Pimps of Tlaxcala is a harsh, heart-wrenching book that highlights the perverse side of a consumer society, a machinery that has created a market for sex slaves.

Tenancingo, a small town in Tlaxcala, is not only one of the hubs of human trafficking in Mexico, but in the world. From there, entire families of pimps have engrossed their million-dollar business across the national territory and much of the United States. Mexico's different administrations have done very little to dismantle these networks, suggesting corruption and collusion with those who exercise this sadistic trade. But some of these criminals have indeed fallen.

In this thorough investigation, Juan Alberto Vázquez tells the story of five families of pimps who were judged in the New York courts--their violent beginnings, their methods to attract vulnerable women and children, their extorsions, their criminal psyche.... At the same time, testimonies from female victims have come to light: their difficult journey to re-enter society, the activists' efforts to stand up against human trafficking, and the legal nuances through which traffickers move about.
