Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Inhabitants of Medellin, Colombia, suffered from the war-like violence perpetrated by drug cartels and other actors in the 1980s and 1990s. Thousands died, including innocent civilians, judges, and journalists, many more were injured and suffered psychological trauma. Three decades later, however, transnational media companies such as Netflix have transformed the traumatic memories into entertainment while the main perpetrator, Pablo Escobar, became arecognizable brand name. Even as global audiences are captivated by Escobar's life and myth, his victims' stories fade into oblivion.Victimhood, Memory, and Consumerism: Profiting from Pablodocuments the story of violence inflicted on Medellin, and critically examines the status of its victims. Drawing on unique empirical material, the book addresses the impact of commercial exploitation of the city's violent past on the victims of mass drug violence and on the present nature of the city. To demonstrate the magnitude of the profits made from the legacy of Pablo Escobar, the authors cover a range of topics. First, they discuss the appropriation by commercial forces of thecity's traumatic past for the purposes of entertainment; second, they describe Escobar tours, souvenirs, and other collectibles offered by Medellin's tourism industry; and, lastly, they expose the less visiblegains reaped by political and social actors who participate in the global mythmaking surrounding Escobar. Through interviews with those directly affected by drug violence, the authors show that these cultural forces have immediate symbolic and material consequences.Victimhood, Memory, and Consumerism offers a poignant critique of the role of the global market economy in the unequal distribution of narrative power among those engaged in processes of collectivememory construction. The book aims, more broadly, at addressing an issue that has so far been neglected in the disciplines of criminology, international criminal justice, and victimology, namely the status ofvictims of large-scale drug violence. A thoroughly compelling read, this volume will appeal internationally to academics in criminology and victimology, as well as those interested in critical perspectives on Netflix, commercialism, and Colombian history. Victimhood, Memory, and Consumerism documents the story of the drug violence in Medellin in the 1980s and 1990s and critically examines the position of its victims. Drawing on unique empirical material, the book addresses the consequences of commercial exploitation of Medellin's violent past for its victims and for the nature of the city today.
