The highlands of Chiapas are smoldering with death. In the winter of 1997, paramilitary agents ambushed and killed many Mayan villagers in Acteal, Chiapas.

No longer univocal in meaning, the remains in...

Por esto es que MAGO Editores reúne en una nueva publicación todos estos textos, más algunos que no fueron publicados en la edición parisina, entre ellos los recordados...
