Belken County, Texas is part of the world, and so, it"s no different; its people are packaged in cellophane and they, too, come in all sizes, shapes and in a choice of colors.

Imagen de apoyo de Cuando México se re(apropia) de Texas: Ensayos = When Mexico Recaptures Texas: Essays

Por: Carmen Boullosa | Fecha: 2015

Los residentes en ambos lados del Río Grande, o el Río Bravo como se conoce en México, han sufrido una violencia atroz a medida que numerosos pueblos han buscado el control de la tierra. En 1836, en lo que hoy es Texas, una joven llamada Cynthia Ann Parker fue secuestrada por los comanches, quienes se comportaron "como vengativos traficantes de drogas", empalando, escalpando y castrando a sus víctimas. Afortunadamente, se le perdonó la vida y fue adoptada por la tribu, solo para ser "rescatada" veinte años después por los Texas Rangers. Hoy en día, los secuestros continúan en México.En esta amplia colección de 29 ensayos, la novelista y ensayista mexicana de renombre internacional, Carmen Boullosa, explora temas que unen y separan a estadounidenses y mexicanos, desde el siglo XIX hasta la actualidad. Los temas de la codicia y la barbarie son recurrentes.
