About this listen
Este libro es una reflexión crítica sobre la cultura mexicana contemporánea.
Este libro es una reflexión crítica sobre la cultura mexicana contemporánea. Se han elegido los lugares comunes del carácter del mexicano: se trata de un manojo de estereotipos codificados por la intelectualidad, pero cuyas huellas se reproducen en la sociedad, provocando el espejismo de una cultura popular de masas. Estas imágenes sobre "lo mexicano" no son reflejo de la conciencia popular (suponiendo, cosa que se duda, que dicha conciencia exista como entidad única y homogénea).
Al leer con actitud sensata los estudios sobre "lo mexicano" se llega a la conclusión de que el carácter del mexicano es una entelequia artificial, sólo tiene una existencia literaria y mitológica, lo que no le resta fuerza e importancia, pero debe hacer que reflexione sobre la manera en que se puede penetrar el fenómeno y sobre la peculiar forma en la que se inserta en la estructura cultural y social de México.
En un país que parece naufragar, azotado por las inclemencias de la crisis y sumido en el despotismo político, surge la terrible pregunta: ¿tiene sentido ser mexicano? A partir de esta interrogante, se critican ásperamente los mitos de la identidad nacional: se propone al lector un juego macabro: hacer la disección de un cadáver, el mexicano inventado por la cultura dominante. El espécimen descubierto por el bisturí resulta ser un extraño anfibio, ni primitivo ni moderno, que adopta el aspecto de un curioso animal: el ajolote.
Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

Story
Una de las claves para el éxito de AMLO fueron las cuestionables alianzas que impulsaron la campaña del hoy presidente. Aunque para los seguidores más fieles de su partido se vendió como un demócrata firmemente anclado en la izquierda, los hechos lo han revelado como un populista de la más conservadora derecha, inspirado en el priismo autoritario. Para Bartra, esto significa sólo una cosa: la así autonombrada «Cuarta Transformación» no es sino un retroceso a una etapa de nuestra historia política que parecía ya superada.

Story
México es un país racista que niega serlo. Con argumentos como “No es racismo, sino clasismo”, “Acá somos todos mestizos” o “Nunca hubo un sistema segregacionista como en Estados Unidos” negamos que hemos perpetuado la discriminación durante generaciones. Tenoch Huerta, actor de reconocido prestigio y portavoz del debate y la lucha antirracista en México desde hace años, se encarga de rebatir estos y otros mitos acerca del racismo en Orgullo prieto.

Story
Sydney Shaw, like every single woman in New York, has terrible luck with dating. She’s seen it all: men who lie in their dating profile, men who stick her with the dinner bill, and worst of all, men who can't shut up about their mothers. But finally, she hits the jackpot. Her new boyfriend is utterly perfect. He's charming, handsome, and works as a doctor at a local hospital. Sydney is swept off her feet. Then the brutal murder of a young woman—the latest in a string of deaths across the coast—confounds police. The primary suspect? A mystery man who dates his victims before he kills them.

Flight attendant Allegra Patel likes her job—she’s generally happy with her life, even if she can’t figure out why she hooks up with a man she barely speaks to—but today is her twenty-eighth birthday. She can think of plenty of things she’d rather be doing than placating a bunch of grumpy passengers.

Story
After the killing of a prominent mob lawyer, NYPD homicide detectives Jacob Jackson and Caitlin Grimes start receive chilling, written “rules” for how to commit the perfect murder. "Rule number one for the perfect murder: Evidence is your enemy. Leave none behind." Jackson (Reid Scott) and Grimes (Cobie Smulders) race to find the killer, setting them on a collision course with the city’s crime underbelly, and a perpetrator who seems happy to toy with them. “Rule number two. No crimes of passion. The perfect murder is always business, never pleasure.”
