Ciudad Juarez is an impressive Mexican town where he lives about a half million people. Located on the border with the United States and Opposite El Paso, the American metropolis located on the opposite bank of the Rio Grande, Ciudad Juarez is accompanied by quite a reputation left, and disturbing.
Flying on his being an actual entrance portal for the United States, where transit is not only thousands of illegal immigrants looking for some hope and pursuit of the dream of a new life, but especially the great majority of drugs Colombian intended for North American market, Ciudad Juàrez è ormai legata in maniera inscindibile alle continue notizie dei cruenti ed orrendi omicidi che ivi avvengono ai danni delle donne.
Dal 1993 si sono avuti oltre 400 casi di omicidio di donne e 600 scomparse (che in una realtà del genere sono praticamente la stessa cosa, solo che i cadaveri vengono occultati o distrutti grazie a calce viva ed acidi invece che lasciati in luoghi pubblici dove possono essere facilmente rinvenuti).
La tipologia dei delitti è quasi sempre la stessa: le donne vengono rapite, torturate, violentate, seviziate, a volte mutilate ed infine strangolate. Passano parecchi giorni tra il rapimento ed il ritrovamento del loro corpo esanime. In quei giorni davanti ai loro occhi si opens up an unimaginable hell. Without either a sin or a motivation that is not human folly, they see their future, their ambitions, their hopes, their suffering, their dreams cut short by unscrupulous individuals, deviated from barbarians and sadists who enjoy inflicting the worst suffering to others, rage against defenseless women with inhuman ferocity.
Even the identikit of the victims is more or less always the same: the mysterious killers are inclined to choose women from humble beginnings, pretty, almost always working class (most of them work in the many maquiladoras present, the factories that assemble products for the 'export to multinational corporations), all of minute structure, and brown with long hair.
There have been many assumptions made about the possible murder, but police never managed (some claim that has not even tried seriously) to combat the problem, or to catch the real culprits, indeed at times been openly accused of negligence if not complicity (the killers seem to have links with major political and economic environments, those who report crimes are often threatened, investigation covered up, the rate of impunity is virtually 100%).
The most credible possibility goes back all the work of some serial killer, readily emulated by many people. But such depravity and a similar ruthless cruelty remain a mystery. Some people talk of satanic rituals, perverse orgies of drug dealers, sellers of organs, human sacrifices to turn snuff movies in which the victim is raped, tortured and killed in front of the room taking, abduction or commissioned by leading entrepreneurs to vent all their sadism tortured women and slaughtering.
never seriously threatened by the authorities and justice, the killers continue their journey safely criminal, even a strong environment in which male dominance characterizes all levels of social organization, both in the home that at work. The company is heavily male- and patriarchal, the subjugation of women is taken for granted and the violence it is perceived as legitimate and almost due if not "observe" her man. It is clear therefore
like this endless slaughter, this femicide without interruption, this perpetual violence visceral Ciudad Juarez have made the city become a symbol of violence against women.
E 'in this context that genuine Peggy Adam sets his work, recently published in Italy from 001 Editions: Luchadoras. The main character is Alma, a woman looking handsome and proud and proud character who works in a bar and lives with her daughter, along with to Romel, a violent man belonging to one of the many local bands. The man from the family home is a true despot, does not accept waste from the woman, is not referred to the idea that you have free choice and will, Alma must always do what he wants, what he tells her to do , in particular, can not even look at other men, otherwise a bloody and vicious fight that always ends with the beating of Alma. The days follow each other all the same until he meets Alma Jean, a young American tourist. The acquaintance with the boy seems to make a change in the life of Alma, who also decided to denounce the violence in the family suffered as a group that provides help and support to women. The story
well described in the book is the context, degrading to women, in which the events take place: Alma is demoted to the rank of a doll without a will, his every attempt at rebellion or claim of self is severely punished by the partner that is configured as a master cruel and ruthless.
The book tells perfectly the atmosphere that reigns in the city: the continuing disappearances, the panic that they create among co-workers, the sadness and sense of powerlessness in the face at each new funeral, the shocking discovery of mutilated bodies and disfigured often made by children during their outdoor play.
Luchadoras provides a fresco of everything that does not often see or know, at the same time telling a story and exciting that will surprise the reader with its unexpected end.
