by Deborah Bonello (Author), Ixchel Martínez (Translator)

Las investigaciones contemporáneas sobre el papel de las mujeres en el tráfico de drogas lamentablemente siguen siendo deficientes. Este libro es solo la punta del iceberg en la comprensión de su rol dentro del crimen organizado latinoamericano y la cultura que las rodea .


Pablo Escobar, Joaquín el Chapo Guzmán y Rafael Caro Quintero son personajes mundialmente famosos, a quienes la prensa y el entretenimiento popularizaron al grado de convertirlos en leyendas. Los narcotraficantes son, por definición, hombres. Y aunque junto a ellos también figuran varias mujeres como piezas clave de la barbarie, estas suelen ser descritas con narrativas simplistas y estereotipos que las hacen ver como víctimas o amantes; madres abnegadas o crueles cómplices. Ellas -igual o más despiadadas que los capos más temidos- anhelan la fama, el dinero y el poder tanto como un hombre; ejercen violencia y buscan su beneficio.


En Narcas, Deborah Bonello, exdirectora editorial de VICE News para Latinoamérica y actual editora general de InSight Crime, revela el ascenso de las mujeres en los cárteles de droga. En estas páginas, plasma las historias de narcas como Luz Fajardo Campos, conocida como la versión femenina del Chapo ; Digna Valle, aliada estratégica del Cártel de Sinaloa; Marllory Chacón, una de las narcotraficantes más prolíficas de Centroamérica, según el Departamento del Tesoro de Estados Unidos; y de muchas otras cuya condición de mujeres les ha permitido manejar los hilos del narcotráfico desde la penumbra.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


"Contemporary research on the role of women in drug trafficking is unfortunately still deficient. This book is only the tip of the iceberg in understanding their role within Latin American organized crime and the culture surrounding them."


Pablo Escobar, Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán, and Rafael Caro Quintero are world-famous figures, popularized by the press and entertainment to the point of becoming legends. Drug traffickers are, by definition, men. Yet alongside them, many women have also played key roles in the brutality, though they are often portrayed through simplistic narratives and stereotypes--as victims or lovers, devoted mothers or cruel accomplices. These women--equally or even more ruthless than the most feared kingpins--crave fame, money, and power just as much as men; they exercise violence and pursue their own gain.


In Narcas, Deborah Bonello, former editorial director of VICE News Latin America and current editor-in-chief of InSight Crime, reveals the rise of women in drug cartels. Within these pages, she recounts the stories of narcas such as Luz Fajardo Campos, known as "the female version of El Chapo"; Digna Valle, strategic ally of the Sinaloa Cartel; Marllory Chacón, one of Central America's most prolific traffickers according to the U.S. Treasury Department; and many others whose condition as women has allowed them to pull the strings of drug trafficking from the shadows.
