Cartelgram

Cartelgram delves into the world of Mexican drug cartels as they infiltrate social media, turning the platforms into tools of fear, communication, and recruitment. This compelling book uncovers how narcos, including buchonas (flashy, status-conscious women often romantically linked to cartel members), sicarios (hitmen), and high-ranking cartel members, use (graphic) violence, strategic communications, and cultural influence to expand their digital presence, undermine authorities, and lure new followers, revealing the dark undercurrent of crime that lurks beneath our everyday online interactions.
