Short description:
The Years of Blood collects the most significant stories by journalist Alma Guillermoprieto, completing her complex and always compelling portrait of the Latin America of our times, in all its tragedy and glory, as it traverses a new era of populism and demagoguery.
MoreLong description:
For forty years and more Alma Guillermoprieto has wandered tirelessly over the countries of Latin America, interviewing assassins and the families of their victims, talking to street sweepers and artists, rowdy carnival makers and thoughtful politicians (and plenty of rowdy politicians as well). Guillermoprieto draws out common threads in different contexts, like the effects of The War on Drugs in rural and poverty-stricken regions and the experiences of people mixed up in the fray of state- or cartel-sponsored violence. At the same time, she shows how Latin American art translates nostalgia and pain into great beauty. In The Years of Blood, the third volume of her collected reporting, she completes her complex and always compelling portrait of the Latin America of our times, in all its tragedy and glory, as it enters a new era of populism and demagoguery, and tries, yet again, to answer the great unsolved question: How do we change our future so that it does not so exhaustingly resemble our past?
“No writer captures the joy and the pain of life in Latin America like Alma Guillermoprieto. This collection goes far beyond the usual headlines to explore the deeper currents shaping the human experiences of everyone who lives in our hemisphere.”
