Overview
A partir de una extensa investigación de campo, Federico Mastrogiovanni traza el mapa de la desaparición forzada en México.
Al rastrear la genealogía de este delito, Federico Mastrogiovanni se remonta a la década de 1970, cuando el Ejército mexicano desapareció al luchador social, Rosendo Radilla, durante la llamada “guerra sucia”. La línea histórica llega hasta nuestros días con el caso de Alan Cerón, un joven desaparecido en Cuernavaca; el de Melchor Flores, conocido como el Vaquero galáctico, y con el de Nepomuceno Moreno, quien por buscar a su hijo fue primero amenazado por las fuerzas de seguridad y luego asesinado.
En esta edición actualizada de Ni vivos ni muertos se estudia el caso de los 43 normalistas de Ayotzinapa en el contexto de la desaparición forzada generalizada y en el marco de la estrategia de terror funcional del Estado para el control de territorios, el cual favorece los intereses de trasnacionales petroleras y mineras.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Based on extensive field research, Federico Mastrogiovanni maps the landscape of forced disappearance in Mexico.
Tracing the genealogy of this crime, Federico Mastrogiovanni goes back to the 1970s, when the Mexican Army disappeared social activist Rosendo Radilla during the so-called “Dirty War.” The historical line extends to the present day with the case of Alan Cerón, a young man disappeared in Cuernavaca; that of Melchor Flores, known as the “Galactic Cowboy”; and that of Nepomuceno Moreno, who, for searching for his missing son, was first threatened by security forces and later murdered.
In this updated edition of Neither Alive nor Dead, the case of the 43 Ayotzinapa students is examined within the broader context of widespread forced disappearance and within the framework of the State’s functional strategy of terror for territorial control—one that favors the interests of transnational oil and mining corporations.
