Rics i poderosos, però no tant
Salvador-J. Rovira no només fa un treball genealòigic sinó que de cadascuna de les famílies que estudia —cinquanta-una en total, tres de les quals van adquirir senyories jurisdiccionals— fa una anàlisi detallada de llurs aspectes econòmics (adquisició de béns mobles i immobles, activitats mercantils, etc.), polítics (austriacistes o borbònics), religiosos, militars i culturals.

Despite a climate of fear, a small group of human rights activists, exemplified by the Chihuahua lawyer and organizer Lucha Castro, works to identify the killers and their official enablers. This is the story of La Lucha, illustrated in beautiful and chilling comic book art, rendering in rich detail the stories of families ripped apart by disappearances and murders—especially gender-based violence—and the remarkably brave advocacy, protests, and investigations of ordinary citizens who turned their grief into resistance.
