  • Overview

    Martín Moreno nos revela, con su enérgica e informada prosa, pasajes inéditos que debería conocer todo mexicano crítico de la historia oficial.

    «¿Quién financió la Revolución Mexicana? ¿De dónde salieron las armas y municiones para que nos matáramos otra vez entre los mexicanos si México carecía, y carece, de una poderosa industria militar y a lo largo del movimiento armado no contábamos con las divisas ni con los metales para importarlas?»

    Tal parece que, como sentenció el poeta: «El niño Dios te escrituró un establo y los veneros del petróleo, el diablo», pues de pronto en el territorio de una nación mayoritariamente pobre aparecieron inmensas chapopoteras donde el petróleo afloraba, exhibiendo una riqueza insospechada, y las grandes potencias conspiraron para apropiársela.

    Por las páginas de esta magnética novela transitan hombres de negocios disfrazados de diplomáticos, espías, diputados corruptos, clérigos de diversa jerarquía, abogados y notarios mexicanos vendidos a las compañías petroleras extranjeras, extorsionadores de la peor ralea, guardias blancas y toda una caterva de personajes que, durante más de medio siglo, saquearon impunemente el subsuelo mexicano.

    «Al publicar México negro, nunca imaginé que, a 35 años de distancia, miles de lectores seguirían leyéndolo. Tampoco supuse la catástrofe que significaría la burocratización de la energía en México: Pemex es la única compañía petrolera quebrada en el mundo. Su insolvencia financiera puede destruir el crédito público de México. Ha sido, con algunas excepciones, una cantera de bandidos. ¿De qué les ha servido la expropiación petrolera de 1938 a más de 50 millones de mexicanos sepultados, hoy en día, en la pobreza?» —Francisco Martín Moreno

    ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

    With his energetic and well-informed prose, Martín Moreno reveals previously unpublished passages that every Mexican critical of the official history should know.

    “Who financed the Mexican Revolution? Where did the weapons and ammunition come from for us Mexicans to kill each other again if Mexico lacked—and still lacks—a powerful military industry and throughout the armed struggle we had neither the foreign currency nor the metals to import them?”

    It seems that, as the poet declared: “Baby Jesus gave you a stable, and the devil gave you the oil wells,” for suddenly, in the territory of a largely poor nation, vast oil fields appeared where oil gushed forth, revealing unsuspected wealth, and the great powers conspired to seize it.

    The pages of this compelling novel are populated by businessmen disguised as diplomats, spies, corrupt legislators, clergy of various ranks, Mexican lawyers and notaries in the pay of foreign oil companies, extortionists of the worst sort, white guards, and a whole host of characters who, for more than half a century, plundered Mexico’s subsoil with impunity.

    “When I published Black Mexico, I never imagined that, 35 years later, thousands of readers would still be reading it. Nor did I foresee the catastrophe that the bureaucratization of energy in Mexico would bring: Pemex is the only bankrupt oil company in the world. Its financial insolvency could destroy Mexico’s public credit. With a few exceptions, it has been a breeding ground for bandits. What good has the 1938 oil expropriation done for the more than 50 million Mexicans who are now mired in poverty?” —Francisco Martín Moreno
