Guillermoprieto draws out common threads in different contexts, like the effects of The War on Drugs in rural and poverty-stricken regions and the experiences of people mixed up in the fray of state- or cartel-sponsored violence. At the same time, she shows how Latin American art translates nostalgia and pain into great beauty. In \u003ci\u003eThe Years of Blood\u003c\/i\u003e, the third volume of her collected reporting, she completes her complex and always compelling portrait of the Latin America of our times, in all its tragedy and glory, as it enters a new era of populism and demagoguery, and tries, yet again, to answer the great unsolved question: \u003ci\u003e How do we change our future so that it does not so exhaustingly resemble our past?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlma Guillermoprieto's reports from the field have been published in the\u003ci\u003e New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e, the\u003ci\u003e New York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eNational Geographic\u003c\/i\u003e magazine.
