El mar de sangre en México es generado por un río de arsenales estadounidenses. Cada año, entre 72,000 y 258,000 armas cruzan la frontera hacia nuestro país. La violencia vino del Norte revela el factor decisivo detrás de la catástrofe que desde 2007 padece México: la política armamentística de Estados Unidos. Sin el acceso masivo a esos arsenales, la masacre y la corrupción nunca habrían alcanzado la escala actual. Este no es un tráfico clandestino, sino un flujo facilitado por una «arquitectura de la permisibilidad en Estados Unidos. El libro rastrea cómo la desregulación sistemática de armas en aquel país no solo permitió esta catástrofe, sino que la buscó. Merced a su dinero y al poder que ofrece, la industria armamentista se volvió intocable. La violencia vino del Norte es una acusación que nos obliga a mirar sin evasivas. El fuego no se encendió solo; fue «financiado y armado hasta los dientes por un sistema que prioriza el negocio sobre la vida. «La tormenta no se gestó en México, sino al otro lado de la frontera. (...) Fue allá donde se desmanteló el sistema de control. Fue allá donde se vendieron las armas que aquí matan. Fue allá donde se protegió, con leyes y cabilderos, a quienes lucran con el desa
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The bloodshed in Mexico has its source in a weapons produced in the United States.
Every year, between 72,000 and 258,000 weapons cross the northern border into Mexico.
Violence Came from the North reveals the main factor behind the catastrophe Mexico has been enduring since 2007: US weapons policy. Without easy access to American arsenals, it argues, the massacres and corruption afflicting Mexico would never have reached their current scale. The flow of weapons across the border isn't a clandestine trade; rather, it is facilitated by an "architecture of permissiveness" in the United States. This book shows how the systematic deregulation of weapons in the US not only made this catastrophe possible, but also engineered it, thanks to the money and power of an untouchable arms industry. The evidence Pérez Ricart presents in this book calls for a clear-eyed response. Because systemic violence does not ignite on its own, he points out: It is "funded and armed to the teeth" by forces that put profits above human life. "The storm did not originate in Mexico. It came from the other side of the border. (...) It was there where the controls were dismantled. It was there that the weapons that kill here were sold. And it is there that laws and lobbyists protect the actors who profit from disaster."
