El 4 de noviembre de 2019 un grupo de hombres armados abrió fuego contra tres vehículos en los que viajaba la familia LeBarón. Murieron tres mujeres y seis de sus hijos, apenas niños, mientras que otros cinco resultaron heridos. Las víctimas pertenecían a la comunidad mormona que se instaló en el norte de México cuando en su país, Estados Unidos, se prohibió la poligamia. La masacre atrajo a la prensa internacional y Trump amenazó con enviar tropas a la frontera mexicana.
Qué pasó esa fatídica mañana? A partir de diversas fuentes y entrevistas con mujeres anónimas del clan LeBarón, la periodista estadounidense Sally Denton viaja dos siglos atrás para entender una historia de traición y asesinatos, interpretaciones mesiánicas de la Biblia, relaciones polígamas, tráfico sexual, confrontaciones por el agua y disputa del territorio entre cárteles del narcotráfico.
Los patriarcas de LeBarón creían que el cártel los había atacado, mientras que otros sospechaban de los agricultores con quienes existe una lucha por el agua acaparada por los LeBarón para sus enormes huertos de nuez. A medida que Denton se acerca a las respuestas sobre quién cometió los asesinatos y por qué, La Colonia LeBarón revela una red de lazos de sangre unidos por la corrupción en México y Estados Unidos.
Una proeza del periodismo de investigación. Un libro que deja al descubierto uno de los hechos más cruentos de la historia reciente de México.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
An investigation into the 2019 killings of nine women and children in Northern Mexico - and event that drew international attention - The Colony examines the strange, little-understood world of a polygamist Mormon outpost.On the morning of November 4, 2019, an unassuming caravan of women and children was ambushed by masked gunmen on a desolate stretch of road in northern Mexico controlled by the Sinaloa drug cartel. Firing semi-automatic weapons, the attackers killed nine people and gravely injured five more. The victims were members of the LeBaron and La Mora communities ― fundamentalist Mormons whose forebears broke from the LDS Church and settled in Mexico when their religion outlawed polygamy in the late nineteenth century. The massacre produced international headlines for weeks, and prompted President Donald Trump to threaten to send in the US Army. In The Colony, bestselling investigative journalist Sally Denton picks up where the initial, incomplete reporting on the attacks ended, and delves into the complex story of the LeBaron clan. As Denton approaches answers to who committed the murders, and why, The Colony transforms into something more than a crime story. A descendant of polygamist Mormons herself, Denton explores what drove so many women over generations to join or remain in a community based on male supremacy and female servitude. Then and now, these women of Zion found themselves in an isolated desert, navigating the often-mysterious complications of plural marriage―and supported, Denton shows, only by one another.Author: Sally Denton
