GANADORA DEL PREMIO HELEN BERNSTEIN DE LA BIBLIOTECA PÚBLICA DE NUEVA YORK - FINALISTA DEL CHAUTAUQUA PRIZE Y DEL MOORE PRIZE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS WRITING - SELECCIONADA EN LA LONGLIST DEL WOMEN'S PRIZE ELEGIDO COMO UNO DE LOS MEJORES LIBROS DEL AÑO POR: The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Economist, Chicago Public Library, CrimeReads, The Mary Sue
EL LIBRO PERIODÍSTICO DEL AÑO EN ESTADOS UNIDOS: UNA CRÓNICA VALIENTE SOBRE LA GUERRA CONTRA LAS DROGAS EN FILIPINAS
«Una obra maestra del periodismo . - The New Yorker
«Desgarrador. [...] No solo es la crónica definitiva del régimen de terror en Filipinas, sino una advertencia al resto del mundo . - Patrick Radden Keefe
Patricia Evangelista cumplió la mayoría de edad después de una revolución callejera en Manila que forjó un nuevo futuro para Filipinas. Tres décadas después ha escrito esta crónica nudosa y necesaria sobre la guerra contra las drogas en Filipinas. Meticulosamente documentada y profundamente humana, la autora escribe sobre una nación que descubrió la fragilidad de sus instituciones democráticas bajo el régimen de Rodrigo Duterte. El resultado es una brillante disección de la gramática de la violencia y una investigación fundamental sobre los impulsos humanos enriquecida con su prosa única, corrosiva y temeraria: «Mi trabajo es ir a lugares donde la gente muere. Hago la maleta, hablo con los supervivientes, escribo sus historias y luego vuelvo a casa y espero la próxima catástrofe. Nunca tengo que esperar demasiado . Con el arrojo característico de los mejores periodistas, Evangelista ha convertido una infancia marcada por la revolución en un testimonio ditirámbico, valioso y valiente, un puñetazo en el estómago, un tour de force del periodismo literario, una crónica bárbara e imprescindible y, por encima de todo, un ensayo colosal. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION TIME'S #1 NONFICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR - A NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW TOP 10 BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR Patricia Evangelista's searing account is not only the definitive chronicle of a reign of terror in the Philippines, but a warning to the rest of the world about the true dangers of despotism--its nightmarish consequences and its terrible human cost.--Patrick Radden Keefe, New York Times bestselling author of Empire of Pain Tragic, elegant, vital . . . Evangelista risked her life to tell this story.--Tara Westover, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Educated A journalistic masterpiece--David Remnick, The New Yorker For six years, journalist Patricia Evangelista documented killings carried out by police and vigilantes in the name of then president Rodrigo Duterte's war on drugs--a crusade that led to the slaughter of thousands--immersing herself in the world of killers and survivors and capturing the atmosphere of terror created when an elected president decides that some lives are worth less than others. The book takes its title from the words of a vigilante, which demonstrated the psychological accommodation many across the country had made: I'm really not a bad guy, he said. I'm not all bad. Some people need killing. A profound act of witness and a tour de force of literary journalism, Some People Need Killing is a brilliant dissection of the grammar of violence and an investigation into the human impulses to dominate and resist. WINNER OF THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY'S HELEN BERNSTEIN BOOK AWARD - FINALIST FOR THE CHAUTAUQUA PRIZE AND THE MOORE PRIZE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS WRITING - LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Economist, Chicago Public Library, CrimeReads, The Mary Sue
