With a New Afterword
In 2009, Ed Vulliamy traveled two thousand miles along the frontier from the Pacific coast to the Gulf of Mexico, and from Tijuana to Matamoros, a journey through a kaleidoscopic landscape of corruption and all-out civil war. He describes in revelatory detail the dreaded narco gangs; the smuggling of people, weapons, and illegal drugs; and the interrelated economies of drugs and the ruthless, systematic murder of young women in Ciudad Juarez. Amexica takes us far beyond today's headlines. It is a street-level portrait, by turns horrific and sublime, of a place and people in a time of war as much as of the war itself, "an impressively rendered, nightmare-inducing account" (Kirkus Reviews, Top 25 Books of 2010).Languages:EnglishPublisher:Picador USAISBN-13:9780312610616ISBN-10:0312610610UPC:9780312610616Book Category:Social Science, HistoryBook Subcategory:Regional Studies, Latin America, United StatesBook Topic:Mexico, 21st CenturySize:8.31 x 5.57 x 0.74 inchesWeight:0.336Product ID:SC7Z460T9E
