Infamy by Lydia Cacho
In 2005, after publishing her book The Demons of Eden--where she denounced the very powerful men behind the a Mexican child pornography ring--Lydia Cacho became a target. Exactly eight months after the publication of the book, one morning as she was making her way to work, Lydia was apprehended by the police from the neighboring state of Puebla, and taken into custody during a nightmarish 24 hours during which she was tortured, intimidated and abused. In this chilling memoir, comparable to Ayaan Hirsi Ali's Infidel, Lydia tells her story and exposes the horrific ways in which women--and young girls in particular--are abused then disposed of, while an oftentimes corrupt government simply sits and watches.Lydia Cacho is a feminist activist, author, and journalist from Mexico. Her award-winning Handbook to Avoid, Identify, and Cure Child Sexual Abuse (Con Mi Hijo No) is one of her seven works. Cacho is currently a columnist for El Universal, Mexico's most widely circulated daily newspaper, as well as a workshop instructor on successful techniques to assisting trafficking victims and Community Schools for Peace: a comprehensive approach to conflict resolution.
