El Narcotraficante by Mark Cameron Edberg Pdf

Since the late 1970s, a new folk hero has risen to prominence in the U.S.-Mexico border region and beyond—the narcotrafficker. Celebrated in the narcocorrido, a current form of the traditional border song known as the corrido, narcotraffickers are often portrayed as larger-than-life "social bandits" who rise from poor or marginalized backgrounds to positions of power and wealth by operating outside the law and by living a life of excess, challenging authority (whether U.S. or Mexican), and flouting all risks, including death. This image, rooted in Mexican history, has been transformed and commodified by the music industry and by the drug trafficking industry itself into a potent and highly marketable product that has a broad appeal, particularly among those experiencing poverty and power disparities. At the same time, the transformation from folk hero to marketable product raises serious questions about characterizations of narcocorridos as "narratives of resistance." This multilayered ethnography takes a wide-ranging look at the persona of the narcotrafficker and how it has been shaped by Mexican border culture, socioeconomic and power disparities, and the transnational music industry. Mark Edberg begins by analyzing how the narcocorrido emerged from and relates to the traditional corrido and its folk hero. Then, drawing upon interviews and participant-observation with corrido listening audiences in the border zone, as well as musicians and industry producers of narcocorridos, he elucidates how the persona of the narcotrafficker has been created, commodified, and enacted, and why this character resonates so strongly with people who are excluded from traditional power structures. Finally, he takes a look at the concept of the cultural persona itself and its role as both cultural representation and model for practice.

El Narco by Ioan Grillo Pdf

‘War’ is no exaggeration in discussing the bloodshed that has terrorized Mexico in the past decades. As rival cartels battle for control of a billion-dollar drug trade, the body count - 23,000 dead in five years - and sheer horror beggar the imagination of journalistic witnesses. Cartel gunmen have attacked schools and rehabilitation centers, and murdered the entire families of those who defy them. Reformers and law enforcement officials have been gunned down within hours of taking office. Headless corpses are dumped on streets to intimidate rivals, and severed heads are rolled onto dancefloors as messages to would-be opponents. And the war is creeping northward, towards the United States. El Narco is the story of the ultraviolent criminal organizations that have turned huge areas of Mexico into a combat zone. It is a piercing portrait of a drug trade that turns ordinary men into mass murderers, as well as a diagnosis of what drives the cartels and what gives them such power. Veteran Mexico correspondent Ioan Grillo traces the gangs from their origins as smugglers to their present status as criminal empires. The narco cartels are a threat to the Mexican government - and their violence has now reached as far as North Carolina. El Narco is required reading for anyone concerned about one of the most important news stories of the decade.

The Last Narco by Malcolm Beith Pdf

“Malcolm Beith risked life and limb to tell the inside story of Joaquín ‘El Chapo’ Guzmán Loera, Mexico’s notorious drug capo.” —George W. Grayson, author of Mexico: Narco-Violence and a Failed State? The dense hills of Sinaloa, Mexico, were home to the most powerful drug lord since Pablo Escobar: Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman. Guzman was among the world’s ten most wanted men and also appeared on Forbes magazine’s 2009 billionaire list. With his massive wealth, his army of professional killers, and a network of informants that reached into the highest levels of government, catching Guzman was once considered impossible Newly isolated by infighting amongst the cartels, and with Mexican and DEA authorities closing in, El Chapo was vulnerable as never before. Newsweek correspondent Malcolm Beith had spent years reporting on the drug wars and followed the chase with full access to senior officials and exclusive interviews with soldiers and drug traffickers in the region, including members of Guzman’s cartel. The Last Narco combines fearless reporting with the story of El Chapo’s legendary rise from a poor farming family to the “capo” of the world’s largest drug empire. “The Last Narco gracefully captures the heroic struggle of those who dare to stand up to the cartels, and the ways those cartels have tragically corrupted every aspect of Mexican law enforcement.” —Laura Bickford, producer, Traffic

Pablo Escobar by J.D. Rockefeller Pdf

La vida es lo que usted hace de ella. Nadie puede nunca decir cómo en el mundo un joven chico de clase media e inocente se convirtió en uno de los criminales más buscados y de mala fama en el mundo. A veces, las circunstancias pueden cambiar a un ángel en un demonio y vice versa. Una persona es la única que puede decidir por su propia vida y del futuro que a él le encantaría tener pronto. El dinero es una de las cosas que puede hacer que una persona cambie en alguien que es muy distinto de él. Pablo Escobar es una de esas inocentes personas que se volvió la más destructiva del pasado debido a algunos cambios en su vida que tuvieron una gran influencia en él. ¿Quién dice que solo aquellas celebridades son las personas más influyentes y famosas en la tierra? Pablo Escobar es famoso no porque es una celebridad, sino porque fue uno de los narcotraficantes colombianos más infames y ricos que ha suministrado más del 80% de la cocaína que fue contrabandeada en los Estados Unidos. Pablo Escobar fue ampliamente conocido en el mundo como el "Rey de la Cocaína" y se convirtió en un gran nombre en la industria del mercado negro cuando él se volvió el criminal más rico que ha vivido alguna vez en la historia; con un patrimonio neto estimado de, alrededor de, 30 mil millones de dólares estadounidenses muy atrás, a comienzos de los 90. Aparte de eso, él tenía unos, aproximadamente, 50 mil millones de dólares estadounidenses cuando su dinero, que fue enterrado en varias partes de Colombia está incluido. Este libro dice los comienzos y el ascenso brutal, así como la caída del criminal y Rey de la Cocaína Colombiano más peligroso del mundo, Pablo Escobar, cuyo imperio criminal y dominio de la injusticia retuvo una nación entera de más de 30 millones de rehenes. Su imperio criminal ha traído un reino de completo caos y terror que sólo terminaría con la muerte de Pablo Escobar y esto había pasado después de una persecución de 16 meses por Escobar. En su altura y cima del éxito en los 80, Pablo Escobar era dueño de aviones y flotas de barcos de lujo, y 19 residencias y mansiones diferentes en Medellín, cada una con su propio helipuerto. Hay muchos intentos de capturarlo, pero él simplemente sobornaba a la policía, los jueces y políticos a través de todo el país, y mató a los otros que no cooperaron con él. El gobierno colombiano intentó muchas veces de capturarlo, pero él siempre los evadió. Pero en 1988, alrededor de mil policías nacionales buscaron e hicieron una redada en una de sus lujosas mansiones y, con pura suerte, él fue pillado con sus pantalones abajo, literalmente.

Prostíbulo de la Palabra by Benito Pastoriza Iyodo Pdf

Prostíbulo de la palabra is Benito Pastoriza Iyodo’s fourth collection of poetry. The first edition of the book is accompanied by its English translation: Brothel of the Word. This bilingual volume exposes the reader to a work diverse in themes, structure and format. The book is a collection that encapsulates the people, places, beliefs and actions implicit in the concepts presented in the operative terms “brothel” and “word” in their physical, linguistic and spiritual incarnations. The title engenders curiosity about how the poet will interconnect these two concepts. A brothel is generally associated with prostitution. But knowing that the term “prostitution” can go beyond the world associated with the sexual act, it should be no surprise that the poetic subject moves from the confines of a building (the brothel) to the environs where prostitution manifests itself in the impure and many times masked manipulation of language and mankind within a broader, more global brothel. The dialog between the poems transforms into a conversation among the reader, the poetry and the poet in the physical, linguistic, spiritual and philosophic debates that affect humanity.

Pure Narco by Jesse Fink,Luis Navia Pdf

For a quarter century, Luis Antonio Navia worked as a high-level cocaine transporter for all of the major Colombian and Mexican drug cartels, including Pablo Escobar’s Medellín Cartel, and flooded the United States and Europe with cocaine before his dramatic arrest in Venezuela in 2000 during the 12-nation Operation Journey. The story of Navia’s rise, fall, takedown, imprisonment, and redemption is expertly researched and told by acclaimed biographer Jesse Fink, who has gathered interviews with Navia, Navia’s family, and a dozen law-enforcement agents in the United States and Great Britain from agencies such as the DEA, ICE and Her Majesty’s Customs and Excise (now Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs). Told in vivid detail, this true crime story will captivate the reader from start to finish.
