About the Book

A finales del XIX, siglo de sueños y pesadillas para México, la península de Yucatán ofrecía dos caras de la realidad: por un lado, la esclavitud campesina subyugada por el cultivo del henequén y, por el otro, el ideal de progreso y la promesa de prosperidad económica

Conocida en la época como el «oro verde» mexicano, esta especie de agave impulsó el desarrollo de una poderosa agroindustria que sobrevivió hasta la invención de las fibras sintéticas que la sustituyeron. Sin embargo, el costo humano de la explotación del henequén fue tan alto que por largo tiempo muchos episodios atroces se mantuvieron en la sombra.

En México esclavizado, Francisco Martín Moreno arremete con las mejores armas que posee contra ese silencio: a partir de la historia de amor entre Olegario y Marion fabula la historia de una defensa a ultranza de la dignidad humana y de la justicia social. Con una trama excitante e impredecible, el autor logra un acto de restitución del tipo que solo la literatura nos puede brindar.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

At the end of the nineteenth century, a time of dreams and nightmares for Mexico, the Yucatan peninsula offered two sides of reality: on one hand, peasant slaves subjugated by the production of henequen, and on the other, the ideal of progress and the promise of economical prosperity.

Known at the time as Mexican "green gold," this species of agave pushed the development of a powerful agroindustry that survived up to the invention of the synthetic fibers that replaced it. However, the human cost of henequen exploitation was so high, that many atrocious episodes were kept in the dark for a long time.

In An Enslaved Mexico, Francisco Martín Moreno lashes out with the best weapons he has against silence: based on the love story between Olegario and Marion, he invents the story of a staunch defense of human dignity and social justice. With an exciting and unpredictable plot, the author brings forth an act of restitution, the kind that only literature is able to provide.
