John H. McDowell provides an in-depth look at the Mexican ballad
form known as the corrido, a body of poetry that draws from
violence for its subject matter. Through interviews with male and
female corrido composers and performers, plus a generous sampling
of ballad texts, McDowell reveals a living vernacular tradition
that chronicles local and regional rivalries and spawned the
narcocorrido, ballads set in the drug trade and particularly
popular along the Rio Grande border. Detailed and rife with social
and cultural implications, Poetry and Violence is a compelling
commentary on violence as both human experience and communicative
action.
