Notes

Description
"Mexico, why are you like this? Who hurt you so much? Questions of this nature require deep socio-anthropological studies. But since nobody in the country supports research, we have an Engineer from Chihuahua proposing (terrible) theories and exposing his (very) personal traumas in the process of answering them. A bit of History, a bit of analysis, a lot of "I don't really care", is what people need to survive in a country abandoned by fate a long time ago. The good news is that nothing that happens in Mexico is Mexicans' fault: it's the political party PRI's fault. Politics, religion, gastronomy... these are just some of the topics that Chumel has never studied in his life, but which he comes to teach us all about in the most cynical way possible. He even dares to speak about feminism... Feminism!... Chumel Torres, this is probably a provocation! Show him that he doesn't know what he's talking about by buying this book and reading it from cover to cover."--,Provided by publisher.
Description
"¿Por qué eres así, México? ¿Quién te hizo tanto daño? Preguntas de esta naturaleza requieren delicados estudios socio-antropológicos para perfilar respuestas adecuadas. Pero como en el país nadie apoya la investigación, lo que tenemos es a un ingeniero chihuahuense proponiendo (pésimas) teorías y exponiendo sus (evidentísimos) traumas personales en el proceso. Un poco de historia, un poco de análisis, un mucho de que nos valga madres todo, es lo que necesitamos para sobrevivir como un país cuyo papá se fue por cigarros hace mucho y no ha regresado. La buena noticia es que nada de lo que le pasa a los mexicanos es culpa de ellos: es del PRI. Política, religión, gastronomía... son sólo algunos de los temas que Chumel nunca ha estudiado en su perra vida, pero de los que viene a darnos lecciones a todos de la manera más cínica posible. Hasta de feminismo se atreve a hablar... ¡Feminismo!... Chumel Torres, ¡es prácticamente una provocación! Demuéstrale que no sabe de lo que habla comprando este libro y leyéndolo de principio a fin."--,Provided by publisher.
