From LatinoUSA: The Ballad of Cherán, Michoacán

Share this:

“David Romero remembers the bad old days in Cherán, Michoacán. The days before the small mountain town of indigenous Purépecha indians staged an armed revolt against narcos who were terrorizing the town.

Then one day in 2011, a group of elderly women from the town organized a spontaneous revolt, halting the narcos’ trucks and refusing to let them leave. The rest of the town rose up, taking up whatever ancient shotguns and sharp farm tools they had at their disposal.”
