Book Synopsis



Para conocer esta historia desde su interior, el prestigioso periodista Juan Martínez d'Aubuisson investigó por más de 10 años las causas que provocaron que San Pedro Sula, Honduras, se transformara en una de las ciudades más homicidas del mundo.

Vivió en barrios feroces, entrevistó en prisión a los líderes de las maras, atestiguó disputas por territorios y acompañó a una de las caravanas hondureñas hasta México. Su compromiso puso en riesgo su vida, pero solo así fue capaz de describir el dolor de una comunidad rota que resiste con ira y, al mismo tiempo, desafiar sus propios límites como periodista al exponerse a la violencia en su estado puro.

La narración se remonta a la llegada de las voraces bananeras a finales del siglo XIX, que despojaron de su riqueza a los países centroamericanos, poniendo y quitando dictadores; a la instalación de las maquilas a mediados de los años 70, lo que aumentó las crisis; y al nacimiento de las pandillas más letales y con mayor influencia internacional: Mara Salvatrucha 13 y Barrio 18, maras que hasta hoy siguen disputándose con extrema violencia el control de calles, cárceles y el destino de las personas.

«Intensa, musculosa, cargada de detalles y sensaciones, de una franqueza extraordinaria, sin concesiones». --Fernanda Melchor


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


To understand this story from within, esteemed journalist Juan Martínez d'Aubuisson spent more than 10 years investigating the causes that turned San Pedro Sula, Honduras, into one of the most homicidal cities in the world.

He lived in dangerous neighborhoods, interviewed gang leaders in prison, witnessed territorial disputes, and accompanied one of the Honduran caravans to Mexico. His commitment put his life at risk, but only by doing so was he able to depict the pain of a fractured community that resists with rage--while also challenging his own limits as a journalist by exposing himself to pure violence.

The narrative traces back to the arrival of aggressive banana companies in the late 19th century, which stripped Central American countries of their wealth, placing and removing dictators; to the establishment of maquiladoras in the mid-1970s, which deepened the crisis; and to the emergence of the most lethal and internationally influential gangs: Mara Salvatrucha 13 and Barrio 18--gangs that, to this day, continue to violently fight for control over streets, prisons, and people's fates.

"Intense, powerful, rich in detail and sensations, extraordinarily frank, without concessions." --Fernanda Melchor
