With contributions from seven of Mexico's finest journalists, this is reportage at its bravest and most necessary - it has the power to change the world's view of their country, and by the force of its truth, to start to heal the country's many sorrows.Supported the Arts Council Grant's for the Arts Programme and by PEN PromotesVeering between carnival and apocalypse, Mexico has in the last ten years become the epicentre of the international drug trade. The so-called "war on drugs" has been a brutal and chaotic failure (more than 160,000 lives have been lost). The drug cartels and the forces of law and order are often in collusion, corruption is everywhere. Life is cheap and inconvenient people - the poor, the unlucky, the honest or the inquisitive - can be "disappeared" leaving not a trace behind (in September 2015, more than 26,798 were officially registered as "not located"). Yet people in all walks of life have refused to give up. Diego Enrique Osorno and Juan Villoro tell stories of teenage prostitution and Mexico's street children. Anabel Hernández and Emiliano Ruiz Parra give chilling accounts of the "disappearance" of forty-three students and the murder of a self-educated land lawyer. Sergio González Rodríguez and Marcela Turati dissect the impact of the violence on the victims and those left behind, while Lydia Cacho contributes a journal of what it is like to live every day of your life under threat of death. Reading these accounts we begin to understand the true nature of the meltdown of democracy, obscured by lurid headlines, and the sheer physical and intellectual courage needed to oppose it.

In 2005, after publishing her book The Demons of Eden—where she denounced the very powerful men behind the a Mexican child pornography ring—Lydia Cacho became a target. Exactly eight months after the publication of the book, one morning as she was making her way to work, Lydia was apprehended by the police from the neighboring state of Puebla, and taken into custody during a nightmarish 24 hours during which she was tortured, intimidated and abused. In this chilling memoir, comparable to Ayaan Hirsi Ali's Infidel, Lydia tells her story and exposes the horrific ways in which women—and young girls in particular—are abused then disposed of, while an oftentimes corrupt government simply sits and watches.

Soft Skull

Illegal, inhuman, and impervious to recession, there is one trade that continues to thrive, just out of sight. The international sex trade criss-crosses the entire globe, a sinister network made up of criminal masterminds, local handlers, corrupt policemen, willfully blind politicians, eager consumers, and countless hapless women and children. In this ground-breaking work of investigative reporting, the celebrated journalist Lydia Cacho follows the trail of the traffickers and their victims from Mexico to Turkey, Thailand to Iraq, Georgia to the UK, to expose the trade's hidden links with the tourist industry, internet pornography, drugs and arms smuggling, the selling of body organs, money laundering, and even terrorism. This is an underground economy in which a sex slave can be bought for the price of a gun, but Cacho's powerful first-person interviews with mafiosi, pimps, prostitutes, and those who managed to escape from captivity makes it impossible to ignore the terrible human cost of this lucrative exchange. Shocking and sobering, Slavery Inc, is an exceptional book, both for the colossal scope of its enquiry, and for the tenacious bravery with which Cacho pursues the truth.

Con más de 200 entrevistas realizadas tanto a hombres como a mujeres, la autora desvela las problemáticas de la sexualidad a la que se enfrentan ambos géneros a partir de los 40 años. Tras un profundo análisis de los datos y comentarios de especialistas, Lydia Cacho abre un espacio para el diálogo sobre estas etapas en las vidas de hombres y mujeres que, sorprendentemente, siguen siendo desconocidas: la ANDROPAUSIA y la MENOPAUSIA. "Hablo de la llegada de las crisis de la edad madura, sus implicaciones emocionales en el amor y la pasión, las fisiológicas, sociales y sexuales. También son parte del tema los mitos, las mentiras y las tonterías que repetimos sistemáticamente respecto a lo que nos sucede cuando llegan los cambios fisiológicos, esos que la industria médica y farmacéutica aprovecha para exprimirnos como naranjas dulces. Espero que este libro le haga pensar, sorprenderse, reír, comprender. Sobre todo, que le ayude a entender que lo que había sentido y pensado, no solamente tiene razón de ser, sino que además le puede enseñar a convivir y a escuchar a su cuerpo para llevar una vida más plena, sana y feliz." -Lydia Cacho ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Everything you should know before turning 40, by bestselling author Lydia Cacho. After interviewing over 200 men and women, the author reveals the sexual difficulties that both sexes have after the age of 40. Through a deep analysis of the facts and commentary by specialists, Lydia Cacho opens a space for dialogue about these stages in the lives of men and women that, surprisingly, remain almost unknown: andropause and menopause. "I talk about the arrival of the mid-life crisis, its emotional implications in love and passion, as well as the physiological, social, and sexual ones. Also involved in the mix are the myths, lies, and nonsense that we systematically repeat about what happens to us when the physiological changes arrive—those that the medical and pharmaceutical industry take advantage of in order to squeeze us like juicy oranges. I hope that this book makes you think, be surprised, laugh, comprehend. Above all, that it helps you understand that what you had felt and thought is not only reasonable, but that it can also help you learn to live with and listen to your body to lead a fuller, happier, and healthier life." —Lydia Cacho
