El pueblo soy yo [The Town Is Me]

This book is a powerful manifesto in defense of freedom and the word.

The democracy is fragile, mortal, and has been perverted for over 2,000 years, first by the demagogues of Athens and then by the incendiary populism of Donald Trump last year in the United States.

In Latin America, dictatorships of both left and right have been a constant, and today, populism threatens the region.

Enrique Krauze warns of the dangers of concentrating power in one person and defends democracy, debate, pluralism, and tolerance in this collection of essays that are both historical, personal, and critical.

In defense of the phrase "the people are me," this book is a small journey through history, a personal testimony, an accumulation of what has been seen, heard, read, discussed, and learned about the power of absolute power.
