Summary
Golpeada por accidente durante el festejo de su cumpleaños, Ana pierde la memoria. Cuando recobra el conocimiento todo tiene poco sentido, por lo que necesita del relato ajeno para entender qué la ata a su marido, su hijo pequeño, su casa, su madre, sus estudios y sus rutinas. No obstante, de las grietas de su mente empiezan a emanar recuerdos de un pasado familiar remoto y palabras en un idioma extraño ajeno para el resto, pero que para Ana representan la manifestación de una nueva vida.
A través de un lenguaje íntimo y deslumbrante, Carla Maliandi retrata los testimonios de la apropiación y la violencia contra una niña, un pueblo, una cultura. Sin ceder a didactismos o tentaciones pedagógicas, La estirpe es un libro donde nada es concluyente o definitivo.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
It is an intellectual account of the hegemony that operated as launching pad for “the war against the cartels”—first on a symbolic level, and afterwards as an ongoing campaign against organized violence.
After researching official documents, news reports, academic studies, and cultural productions about drug trafficking, Oswaldo Zavala reviews the story arch of the language in which a war tale is inscribed, with interchangeable characters in variable places that make up the illusion about narco in our contemporary society, giving special attention to cultural products about the drug trade in general.
