Recenzje

How to make sense of a Pablo Escobar t-shirt? Victimhood, Memory, and Consumerism is a fascinating and incisive analysis of the paradoxes of how mass drug violence in Medellín, Colombia has been commodified by the global culture industry of Netflix's Narcos and the mass-produced kitsch of dark tourism. The authors effectively show how this framing of violence as entertainment affects the lives and haunts the memories of the actual victims of violence in Medellín.
