by Manu Ureste (Author)

«La violencia se nos ha metido debajo de las uñas, bajo la epidermis del pecho, en la sinapsis individual y colectiva. Ante eso Manu Ureste nos entrega este libro magnífico para resistir. Su empatía con la vida de las víctimas relatadas en sus crónicas es un manifiesto periodístico que nos ayuda a imaginar otro destino. Vivir con el narco abre la inteligencia para reflexionar sobre un futuro en el que seríamos capaces de vivir sin él. -Ricardo Raphael

Con un ritmo vertiginoso, un estilo narrativo y una forma de contar y describir escenas que toca sensibilidades, Manu Ureste --periodista de investigación de Animal Político-- muestra la complejidad de la inseguridad en el país. A partir de 17 crónicas y una serie fotográfica de quienes viven la violencia en sus múltiples formas, incluyendo la que proviene de las autoridades, este libro narra las consecuencias atroces de la inoperancia para combatir el crimen organizado y el abandono de los distintos gobiernos en los últimos 17 años --desde Felipe Calderón, pasando por Peña Nieto, hasta López Obrador y ahora Claudia Sheinbaum.

Este libro cuenta la violencia de un narcorrancho donde hacían rituales de santería y torturaban a secuestrados; de los niños que no llegaron a su partido del fin de semana porque un comando armado los alcanzó; de las comunidades indígenas que se resisten a dejar sus tierras a pesar de las amenazas; de las pandillas que le cortan los brazos a machetazos a la gente por no recibir la cuota; de quienes buscan a sus desaparecidos; de los migrantes en el calvario que viven al cruzar por México. Historias que coinciden en que el narco y su violencia son parte de su cotidianidad.

Vivir con el narco no es un libro (más) sobre el narco per se: se trata de un libro que narra una guerra sin tregua, feroz, que no cesa, y explica cómo el crimen organizado está enraizado en el día a día de distintas comunidades que ha llevado a la fuerza a millones de mexicanos --niños, jóvenes y población civil en general-- a aprender a vivir con él.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"Violence has gotten under our nails, under the very skin over our chest, in both individual and collective synapsis. In view of this, Manu Ureste delivers this magnificent book to resist. His empathy for the lives of the victims, accounted for in his chronicles, is a journalistic manifest that helps us imagine a different fate. Living with Narcos opens up our minds to reflect on a future in which we would be able to live without them." --Ricardo Raphael

With rapid pace, literary style, and a way to tell and describe scenes that strikes a chord, Manu Ureste--investigative journalist for Animal Político--reveals the complexity of the country's insecurity. With 17 chronicles and a photographic series of those who experience violence in multiple ways, even from the authorities, this book narrates the atrocious consequences of the ineffectiveness to fight organized crime and the abandonment of the various administrations in the last 17 years, from Felipe Calderón, to Peña Nieto, even López Obrador, and now Claudia Sheinbaum.

This book describes the violence in a narco ranch where they performed Santeria rituals and tortured those they kidnapped; it speaks of the children that never made it to their weekend soccer game because an armed convoy got to them; of the indigenous communities that refuse to leave their land despite the threats; of the gangs that chop people's arms off with machetes if they don't receive their payments; of those looking for their missing loved ones; of the ordeal migrants go through when crossing through Mexico. Stories that coincide on how narcos and their violence are a part of everyday life.

Living with Narcos is not just (another) book about the narco per se. It is a book that recounts a fierce, relentless, all-out war, and explains how organized crime is embedded in the lives of different communities, forcing millions of Mexicans--children, youths, and the civilian population in general--to learn to live with it.
