Synopsis

The author takes us through the first 40 years of Mexico's history in the 20th Century. The lethargic and sinister years of Porfirio Diaz, Madero's revolution, Huerta's dictatorship, the Constitutionalism, the Maximato, and the Cardenismo, are the searing threads that the author weaves to create a tapestry of the appalling. Surrounded by North Americans and Europeans who seek to subjugate its inhabitants in order to steal its natural resources (namely its oil), Mexico is a country that blooms and ripens like a curse. The crippling combat between power and neglect, give birth to a national identity. Description in Spanish: Pagina tras pagina ante nosotros los primeros cuarenta años del siglo XX. Los letargicos y siniestros anos del Porfiriato, la lucha maderista, el horror de la dictadura huertista, el constitucionalismo, el Maximato y el Cardenismo son los multiples y lacerantes hilos que el autor va entretejiendo hasta configurar un tapiz de escenas atroces: en el centro de cada una de ellas, Mexico, de abundante riqueza, que florece y madura como maldicion para sus hombres, incapaces de habitarlo plenamente; alrededor de el, los norteamericanos y europeos que lo acechan y someten. Para Francisco Martin Moreno es desde aqui donde debe analizarse su historia contemporanea: de esta salvaje y alevosa asechanza por parte del imperialismo para hacerse de nuestros recursos (y de manera principal, del petroleo). A traves de la rigurosa recreacion de estos anos, asistimos simultaneamente al imposible dialogo entre el gran capital y el subdesarrollo, al nacimiento de nuestra identidad, surgida del desproporcionado y mutilador combate entre el poder y el desamparo.
