Mexico is a country famous for crime and ultra–violence. Entire areas of the country can be invaded by cartels that look more like private armies than gangs. However, there are forces there that are ready to challenge the dictatorship of bandits. This book tells about how leftist, communist and feminist organizations in Mexico are fighting an unequal battle against crime and corrupt authorities that have grown together with the mafia. This struggle is taking place in jungles and cities, at rallies and in the deep underground, in the offices of ministries and in parliament. Its participants are being killed. Its participants sometimes kill themselves. And the final battle is still ahead. Laura Castellanos knows what she's talking about because she writes from the very heart of this struggle.
