A History of Infamy explores the broken nexus between crime,
justice, and truth in mid-twentieth-century Mexico. Faced with the
violence and impunity that defined politics, policing, and the
judicial system in post-revolutionary times, Mexicans sought truth
and justice outside state institutions. During this period,
criminal news and crime fiction flourished. Civil society's search
for truth and justice led, paradoxically, to the normalization of
extrajudicial violence and neglect of the rights of victims. As
Pablo Piccato demonstrates, ordinary people in Mexico have made
crime and punishment central concerns of the public sphere during
the last century, and in doing so have shaped crime and violence in
our times.
