Listen to the victims' voices

In the midst of hundreds of publications about Mexico's drug war and violence, which usually don't give a voice to the voiceless, to the victims, I found out via Facebook that my Mexican colleague Marcela Turati has published her first book Fuego Cruzado (Crossfire, victims trapped in the drug war). Marcela is one of Mexico's most renowned 'social' journalists and is founder of 'Periodistas de a Pie', an organisation which aim is to search the social dimension in any news story and writing from a human rights perspective. She has worked in Reforma and Excélsior newspapers, and she is currently a freelance reporter. Her articles are frequently published in left-wing Proceso Magazine. In the book's preface, journalist Roberto Zamarripa says: "Marcela's book makes us move and crush. It has been written to explain how far the violent death culture has taken root."  I hope I can get  copy of the book soon to comment on it.
