México Mutilado / Mutilated Mexico - Moreno, Francisco Martin

. .

Résumé :
?Con arreglo a qu? raz?n inconfesable se nos ha ocultado a los mexicanos la verdadera historia patria en los ?ltimos 170 a?os?

M?xico mutilado es un grito de denuncia, de rabia, de impotencia. ?Por qu? los mexicanos hemos hablado tan escasamente de la guerra de 1846 contra Estados Unidos? ?Por qu? nos hemos negado a evaluar los alcances de la catastr?fica derrota que tuvo como resultado, entre otros males, la p?rdida de la mitad del territorio nacional? ?Por qu? no nos atrevemos a ver la herida agusanada por la que supuramos hasta la fecha?

Con su conocida prosa vertiginosa -un tobog?n que nos lleva hasta las mismas entra?as de M?xico-, Francisco Mart?n Moreno nos revela c?mo conspiraron, en contra de su propio pa?s, los altos jerarcas de la iglesia, distinguidos generales, presidentes de la Rep?blica, destacados criollos, arist?cratas, empresarios, periodistas, gobernadores, diputados y senadores.

?La letra del himno nacional deber?a de ser: Mexicanos, s?lvese el que pueda...? ?Qu? aprendimos de la guerra y de la traum?tica experiencia? ?Acaso hoy, a m?s de 170 a?os, los mexicanos somos m?s unidos, m?s cultos, m?s preparados y hemos disminuido la distancia que nos separa de Estados Unidos? Por lo visto, nadie repara en que quien no conoce su historia est? condenado a repetirla, con todas sus funestas consecuencias. Sin duda, los intereses creados fueron de tal magnitud que result? m?s conveniente esconder la realidad que echar luz sobre nuestro pasado para desenmascarar, de una vez y para siempre, a los aut?nticos enemigos de M?xico. M?xico mutilado es una novela pol?tica que nos arroja en pleno rostro las explicaciones que nunca se atrevieron a darnos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

For what unspeakable reason has the true homeland history been hidden from Mexicans for the past 170 years?

Mutilated Mexico is a cry of denunciation, of rage, of helplessness. Why have we Mexicans spoken so sparingly of the 1846 war against the United States? Why have we refused to evaluate the scope of the catastrophic defeat that resulted, among other ills, in the loss of half of the national territory? Why don't we dare to see the wormy wound that still oozes today?

With his well-known vertiginous prose --a slide that takes us down to the very depths of Mexico--, Francisco Mart?n Moreno reveals to us how the high leaders of the church, distinguished generals, presidents of the Republic, outstanding Creoles, aristocrats, businessmen, journalists, governors, deputies and senators have conspired against their own country.

The lyrics of the national anthem should be: Mexicans, save yourself if you can...? What did we learn from the war and the traumatic experience? Today, more than 170 years later, aren't we Mexicans more united, more educated, more prepared and have diminished the distance that separates us from the United States? Apparently, no one notices that those who do not know their history are condemned to repeat it, with all its dire consequences. Without a doubt, the vested interests were of such magnitude that it was more convenient to hide the reality than to shed light on our past in order to unmask, once and for all, the true enemies of Mexico. Mutilated Mexico is a political novel that hurls at us the explanations that they never dared to give us.
