This book examines four conspiracy narratives from Mexico that push
the boundaries of conspiracy research in a new direction. They
include narratives about Lee Harvey Oswald's visit to Mexico City,
shortly before he apparently assassinated JFK, and street gangs
across borders and how some of our worst fears are projected into
them. Mexico is a fertile terrain for conspiracy theories due to
its complex social environment and its proximity to the United
States, which not only made it a strategic platform during the Cold
War but also today's land of bad hombres that according to Donald
Trump should be fended off with a wall. Conspiracy theories are
always narrative in nature, telling us about the state of the world
and the actors behind such states of affairs. This narrativity
tends to be so enthralling that they have increasingly become the
substance of entertainment and even politics. This volume analyses
Mexican conspiracy narratives, explaining how they produce meaning
in a variety of different social and political contexts. This book
will be of interest to researchers of conspiracy theories, crime
and its representations, Mexican politics and society, and US-Latin
American relations.
