¿Cómo fueron afectados los ciudadanos comunes en México por la violencia derivada de la guerra contra el narcotráfico, emprendida por Felipe Calderón? Los mexicanos no han permanecido pasivos, cotidianamente despliegan tácticas de supervivencia frente a las estrategias violentas del Estado y de la delincuencia organizada. Ese es el tema de este libro.
Describes and analyzes people's experience with violence in several areas of Mexico, focusing on ways common citizens were affected by and responded to drug-related violence during Calderón administration (2006-2012). Uses discourse analysis to identify instances of "social murmur," which author defines as statements about daily life outside of and often in contrast to official discourse. Also highlights tactics and strategies citizens use to survive in northern border and southern Pacific regions.
