		<description>&lt;p&gt;The mass slaughters of dogs carried out in Mexico and Europe in the 19&lt;sup class=&#034;typo_exposants&#034;&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; century seem to have been a rehearsal for the human holocausts of the 20&lt;sup class=&#034;typo_exposants&#034;&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; century.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Between 2006 and 2021, the war on drugs left almost 300,000 dead and 100,000 missing in Mexico. Instead of presenting a romanticized account of drug trafficking and drug barons, Ad&#232;le Blazquez analyses the conditions of life in a rural municipality affected by armed violence.&lt;/p&gt;
