Description
The border saga of Miguel Angel Morgado. This powerful narrative of narratives runs through the vicissitudes of life of Miguel Angel Morgado, lawyer, human rights activist and researcher of unpunished crimes. But this book does not follow the stereotype of the black novel, because in the world of Morgado, ranging from Mexico DF to the US border and the Mexican state, justice is often confused with vengeance or lynching. For the protagonist himself, the search for truth and nostalgia for a past full of quicksand and unsettled accounts, are interwoven in his journey through border cities, where crime includes both police forces and smugglers of human organs, drug traffickers, murderers and kidnappers of different ilks. La saga fronteriza de Miguel ángel Morgado. Esta poderosa narración de narraciones recorre los avatares de la vida de Miguel ángel Morgado, abogado defensor de los derechos humanos e investigador de crímenes impunes. Pero este libro no responde al estereotipo de la novela negra, ya que en el mundo de Morgado, que va desde México D.F. hasta la frontera de Estados Unidos y el Estado mexicano, la justicia muchas veces se confunde con la venganza o el linchamiento. Para el propio protagonista la búsqueda de la verdad y la nostalgia por un pasado de arenas movedizas, de cuentas por saldar, se entrelazan en su travesía por ciudades fronterizas, donde lo criminal abarca tanto a las fuerzas policiales como a los contrabandistas de órganos humanos, a los narcotraficantes, asesinos en serie y secuestradores de diversa ralea.
