Overview
La historia no contada del poder en Monterrey
Si hay un apellido que ha tenido una influencia decisiva en la historia de Monterrey es el de los Garza: una familia que, a lo largo de los años, consolidó un imperio económico que hizo de la Sultana del Norte un referente de prosperidad y la semilla de momentos fundacionales del México moderno.
Este es el retrato familiar de quienes erigieron una ciudad de industrias boyantes e instituciones respetables, pero también una historia de sangre y fuego, de persecución y represión política, de fanatismo religioso y silencios cómplices, por la que desfilan la formación de guerrillas, el asesinato de empresarios —como Eugenio Garza Sada— y la irrupción de los Legionarios de Cristo en la sociedad regiomontana.
La periodista Roberta Garza, nacida en el seno de esa estirpe, entrelaza sus memorias con la crónica para dejar testimonio de dos destinos inexorablemente unidos —el de sus ancestros y el del lugar que la vio nacer—, y develar la idiosincrasia y las paradojas de una clase que limita su destino a un rincón de la geografía llamado San Pedro Garza García.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
La historia no contada del poder en Monterrey
If there is one surname that has decisively influenced Monterrey’s history, it is the Garza family: a dynasty that, over the years, consolidated an economic empire that turned the “Sultana del Norte” into a symbol of prosperity and the seed of foundational moments in modern Mexico.
This is the family portrait of those who built a city of thriving industries and respected institutions, but also a story of blood and fire, of political persecution and repression, of religious fanaticism and complicit silences. It includes the rise of guerrilla movements, the assassination of businessmen —such as Eugenio Garza Sada— and the intrusion of the Legionaries of Christ into Monterrey’s society.
Journalist Roberta Garza, born into this lineage, intertwines her memoirs with historical chronicle to bear witness to two destinies inexorably linked —that of her ancestors and that of the place where she was born—, revealing the idiosyncrasies and paradoxes of a class that confines its fate to a corner of geography called San Pedro Garza García.
