Guillermoprieto draws out common threads in different contexts, like the effects of The War on Drugs in rural and poverty-stricken regions and the experiences of people mixed up in the fray of violence and drug trafficking. At the same time, she shows how Latin American art translates nostalgia and pain into great beauty. In \u003ci\u003eThe Years of Blood\u003c\/i\u003e, the third volume of her collected stories, she completes her complex and always compelling portrait of the Latin America of our times, in all its tragedy and glory, as it traverses a new era of populism and demagoguery, and tries, yet again, to answer the great unsolved question: \u003ci\u003e How do we change? How do we change our future so that it does not so exhaustingly resemble our past?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/22\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781478031390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Alma Guillermoprieto","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45130972692661,"sku":"9781478031390","price":22.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_a81c6648-3592-46cf-8b74-82fafc17fca7.jpg?v=1740460139","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-years-of-blood-stories-from-a-reporting-life-in-latin-america-9781478031390","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
