Human rights activist Yeonmi Park, who fled North Korea with her mother in 2007 at the tender age of 13, shares her harrowing journey to freedom. Her escape led her to South Korea two years later, following a grueling ordeal. To be completely free, Yeonmi realized she had to confront the truth of her past and share her story.
Her narrative unveils an ugly, shameful story of being sold with her mother into slave marriages by Chinese brokers. Initially, she tried to conceal these painful details while blending into South Korean society. However, she soon recognized the power of her survival story to inspire others. Her journey also includes the quest to find her sister, who had escaped earlier and vanished into China for years.
Con un afán polémico y un tono irreverente, este libro busca despertar el debate y denunciar la prevalencia de nuestras costumbres racistas y las formas de pensar que las acompañan.
A partir de ejemplos cercanos y actuales, el historiador Federico Navarrete realiza un original análisis de los vĂnculos entre el racismo y graves casos que han cimbrado a MĂ©xico desde los feminicidios en Juárez, pasando por la matanza de migrantes en San Fernando, hasta la desapariciĂłn forzada de los normalistas de Ayotzinapa.
El racismo impera en MĂ©xico. Es un hecho cotidiano que cobra forma lo mismo en una charla privada que en anuncios de tintes "aspiracionales" o en polĂticas pĂşblicas excluyentes. Desafortunadamente, una gran parte de la poblaciĂłn es indiferente ante el fenĂłmeno.
AmĂ©n de ofrecer un examen de los orĂgenes histĂłricos del racismo en MĂ©xico, vinculados con lo que llama la "leyenda del mestizaje", Federico Navarrete nos ofrece una serie de posibles caminos para liberarnos de esta lacerante situaciĂłn en busca del respeto a las diferencias y la convivencia sensata. Su aviso es claro y estamos a tiempo de hacer de la pluralidad un germen de convivencia y esperanza.
