Known at the time as Mexican "green gold," this species of agave pushed the development of a powerful agroindustry that survived up to the invention of the synthetic fibers that replaced it. However, the human cost of henequen exploitation was so high, that many atrocious episodes were kept in the dark for a long time. In An Enslaved Mexico, Francisco Martín Moreno lashes out with the best weapons he has against silence: based on the love story between Olegario and Marion, he invents the story of a staunch defense of human dignity and social justice. With an exciting and unpredictable plot, the author brings forth an act of restitution, the kind that only literature is able to provide.

by Francisco Martín Moreno (Author)
A finales del XIX, siglo de sueños y pesadillas para México, la península de Yucatán ofrecía dos caras de la realidad: por un lado, la esclavitud campesina subyugada por el cultivo del henequén y, por el otro, el ideal de progreso y la promesa de prosperidad económica
Conocida en la época como el «oro verde mexicano, esta especie de agave impulsó el desarrollo de una poderosa agroindustria que sobrevivió hasta la invención de las fibras sintéticas que la sustituyeron. Sin embargo, el costo humano de la explotación del henequén fue tan alto que por largo tiempo muchos episodios atroces se mantuvieron en la sombra.
