The Daughters of Juarez: A True Story of Serial Murder South of the Border

24 reviews
Teresa Rodriguez, Diana Montané

Atria, 2008

There are now many books on subject, this is the best imho
Daughters of Juarez takes you through the journey of this sad, despoiled human landscape. Women by the hundreds have disappeared, been taken away. Rather than offer a single neat solution, the book goes through the hope and agony of the search for answers. Mysterious and shadowing figures flit away, then are confronted, only to slip away again. Government officials are hopelessly corrupt if not ...

Career Education, 2004

Good content, poorly structured
This was one of those, "must have for the course" type of books. I thought that I would use it later down the road, but I have already sold it. If you are trying to obtain a certification, this book will help. If you are just looking for general knowledge, you may want to look somewhere else. This book is not for the "average" user. It is a whopping 1568 pages and weights over six ...

Painfully real pictures
I've twice been to the Colonia's of Cd. Juarez. I have not, thank God, witnessed the violence. I have seen the poverty. The photographs in "Juarez, the laboratory of our future" are painful to view. The work of skilled local photographers, the pictures jump from the pages and into your heart. Life in a Colonia is a nightmare. As the text makes clear, the causes of the poverty and violence ...

Stella Pope Duarte

University of Arizona Press, 2008

Fictionalized account lets author delve more deeply into all-too-real story
With the signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement in 1993, young Mexican women began taking jobs in U.S.-owned maquiladoras, or factories, in Juárez. Many became unwitting victims of gruesome murders as they walked home from work at night. Critics have long accused Mexican authorities of callousness, even complicity. Stella Pope Duarte's vital and eloquent novel, "If I Die in ...

The material itself...
The material of the book itself is easy to understand, and the directions for the exercises are easy to follow. If you're purchasing this book for at home use, you might need to know that the book does not include the source files needed to complete some of the exercises. If you're purchasing this as a student, you will need to purchase an access code for SimNet separately if you happen to ...

30 Days Of Night: Juarez
Matt Fraction, Ashley Wood

Arte Publico Press, 2005

Horrifying and Wonderful At the Same Time
This book made the hair on my neck stand straight up! But I couldn't stop reading. The fact that it is fiction centered around real events made it even more horrifying and compelling. But even if the Juarez murders had not and were not taking place, this is still an incredible book. It's well written, the story riveting, and the characters (very important to me) are drawn with great reality. ...

Instant Child-Pleaser; great for reading skills
Someone gave us several of these (including Twisted Tales, The Smart Boys, and Penny Star) last Christmas. My son was just turning 6 then, in kindegarten, and not innately interested in learning to read....but he LOVED these books. By now he's a great reader, and can read these on his own, and he still often chooses them for bedtime stories. These really do a great job of engaging kids' ...
