Rabia

In this book, which is an x-ray of the state of Latin America, eight journalists describe the fissures that have opened up in their territories in recent years. From the femicidal Mexico portrayed by Elena Reina to the Argentina of Estefanía Pozzo, where women overthrew the political obstacles to abortion; from the Colombian Pacific traversed by violence and racism to which Juan Cárdenas turns to the Puerto Rico of hurricanes that can no longer sustain the memory of Ana Teresa Toro's "happy colony"; from the Cuba that does not want to see how a group of young people educated by the Revolution, like Carlos Manuel Álvarez, questions and demands changes to the Peru of Joseph Zárate, where the young people overthrew a president and paid with their lives for their irruption into politics; from Ortega's Nicaragua (who was challenged by Lesther Alemán, a young man today in prison and formerly exiled, like the journalist Wilfredo Miranda) to Yasna Mussa's Chile, who denied the fantasy of the "oasis" of Latin America and began to dismantle the heritage of the dictatorship. The chronicles show, with the twists, sayings and expressions of each country, the entrails of their societies in a living sore. That's what this book is about: the moment when a crack opens in the facade of normality and we see what our societies are made of. And then it is no longer possible to stop seeing it.
