La región crepuscular
Read moreTitle La región crepuscular Author Esquinca, Bernardo Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078851829 Edition number 1 Publication year 2024 Pages 192 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis I could say that this novel is about Gregorio Cárdenas, the first serial murderer of modern Mexico, whose crimes shocked a country that was trying to leave behind the embers of the Revolution. But in reality it is something more: instead of just talking about the figure of the murderer, I was also interested in delving into the social context that fostered it, and that seems to be repeated today. In these pages there is an attempt to understand where the sexist violence that plagues Mexico comes from. Why were women forced to commit crimes in the 1940s? Why were there clandestine abortions that put the lives of dozens of girls at risk? Why do the chroniclers point out that it was a man –detective José Acosta Suárez– who caught Gregorio Cárdenas, when there was an agent, Ana María Dorantes, whose work was fundamental in the case, and who is now unjustly forgotten? Why are serial killers a cultural construct for which we are all responsible? This book is a portrait of that era known as the Alemanism, but it also involves the present in an important way, with the epidemic of feminicides that the State of Mexico is experiencing, where some of the bloodiest serial killers of recent years have been conceived. It is important to note that it is not pleasant to read this novel, but it could not be otherwise. The twilight region is precisely that place that we avoid turning around, because we believe that it is better not to see, to ignore what happens around us while the victims accumulate. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -

Historias amerindias contemporáneas
Read moreTitle Historias amerindias contemporáneas Author María Isabel Martínez Ramírez Publisher Sb editorial Imprint Sb editorial ISBN 9786316593580 Edition number 1 Publication year 2024 Pages 132 Format Printed THEMA Social & cultural history Synopsis This work proposes to approach contemporary Amerindian histories from previously unimagined perspectives and places, in order to provoke unexpected encounters. Its premise is that it is still possible to learn from others about history, to create relationships that do not pass through disqualification, denial, expulsion and historicide. The symmetrization and proliferation of Amerindian histories requires multiplying and diversifying the parameters of “the historical” and being willing to be affected by those other histories. foreign rights contact Andrés Telesca E-mail andres.telesca@editorialsb.com -
Mucha madre
Read moreTitle Mucha madre Author Fuentes Silva, Andrea Publisher Almadía Ediciones, S. A. P. I. de C. V. Imprint Almadia ISBN 9786078764594 Edition number 1 Publication year 2021 Pages 304 Format Printed THEMA Fiction and Related items Synopsis Mucha madre is a collective book coordinated and edited by Andrea Fuentes. In it, eleven writers –Gabriela Jauregui, Luisa Fuentes Guaza, Clarisa Moura, Andrea Fuentes, Abril Castro, Violeta Celis, Pilar Villela, Sara Schulz, Ave Barrera, Jazmina Barrera and Gina Jaramillo– and eight illustrators –Amanda Mijangos, Sol Undurraga, Liz Meville, Rachel Levit, Gala Navarro, Sonia Pulido, María Luque and Carmen Segovia– share their ideas, experiences and practices of motherhood to reinvent it. With a language made of words and images, this book is a kaleidoscope that brings together the thoughts and feelings of women with different stories, whose reflections relate their experiences of mothering at different ages and sexual preferences or thanks to fertility treatments; they talk about raising children as single mothers or as stepmothers, they discuss the division of child care within couples, weaning, breastfeeding, and even the refusal to write about being a mother or the decision not to be one. Mucha Madre is a book that relies on diversity; each text shows that there is not just one motherhood, but many motherhoods that, in their multiplicity, call for a collective and urgent conversation in which we all – mothers or not – are part of. foreign rights contact Elizabet Osorio Osorio E-mail eosorio@corporativoventura.mx -
