| Description: |
The first major nonfiction work based on the ongoing phenomenon of over 300 confirmed female homicides with 600 women still missing in Juarez, Mexico. |
| Synopsis: |
Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, queda en la frontera sur del Rio Bravo, frente a El Paso, Texas. Por mas de doce anos, aqui se ha llevado a cabo un sinnumero de crimenes atroces contra mujeres y ninas que incluyen secuestros, violaciones, mutilaciones y asesinatos. Segun Amnistia Internacional, para 2006, se habian encontrado mas de 400 cadaveres, sin contar centenares de desaparecidas. Muchos creen que las muertes se deben a la violencia e impunidad que imperan en la ciudad. Entre las teorias que se proponen estan uno o varios asesinos en serie, los sacrificios en rituales satanicos, el poderoso cartel del narcotrafico de Juarez y hasta corruptos funcionarios mexicanos que encubren a los responsables. Las hijas de Juarez promete ser una reveladora obra literaria que revela no solo la brutalidad tras estos sangrientos hechos, sino las violaciones de los derechos humanos de la mujer en Mexico. |
