Acerca de esta escucha

Bad Mexicans tells the dramatic story of the magonistas, the migrant rebels who sparked the 1910 Mexican Revolution from the United States. Led by a brilliant but ill-tempered radical named Ricardo Flores Magon, the magonistas were a motley band of journalists, miners, migrant workers, and more, who organized thousands of Mexican workers—and American dissidents—to their cause. Determined to oust Mexico's dictator, Porfirio Diaz, the rebels had to outrun and outsmart the swarm of US authorities vested in protecting the Diaz regime. The US Departments of War, State, Treasury, and Justice, as well as police, sheriffs, and spies, hunted the magonistas across the country.

But the magonistas persevered. They lived in hiding, wrote in secret code, and launched armed raids into Mexico until they ignited the world's first social revolution of the twentieth century.

Taking listeners to the frontlines of the magonista uprising and the counterinsurgency campaign that failed to stop them, Kelly Lytle Hernández puts the magonista revolt at the heart of US history. Long ignored by textbooks, the magonistas threatened to undo the rise of Anglo-American power, on both sides of the border, and inspired a revolution that gave birth to the Mexican-American population, making the magonistas' story integral to modern American life.

But this reading is so choppy and awkward I have to send it back.
The reason is the obvious fact that the performer is unfamiliar with spanish names. She reads Spanish words as though each word is such an accomplishment, it is very distracting from the text of this book.

The book was good but the reading is not

A real life story of rebels against the empire seen many times over in today’s pop culture. These are the lives and tribulations of people that actually went through it. A fundamental tale of the Mexican American experience.

A compelling story of rebellion

I had to stop the audio. Pronunciation of names and locations were a sin, really bad. I’ll have to read this book the traditional way which is a route I don’t do often lately. But the content was good.

DNF

The ending was just as fabulous as the beginning, I'm gonna recommend this book to anyone I meet. Thank you for enlightening me. Recommend me more on the same subject.

Awesome

Loved the book, but I wish they hired someone who could pronounce stuff in Spanish! It’s so key, especially when the book contains this much Spanish. It became distracting as some point.

Amazing Story, Bad Reader

Very few books about Mexicans as good as this one, I enjoyed reading about the multiple lives that fought against injustice in different ways.

Great Book

Horrible performance. With so many bilingual people in the world, why choose someone who butchers words in Spanish. Very disappointing.

Great account of events.

Ms . García’s ignorance of Spanish pronunciation is astounding and it bedeviled listening to what otherwise would have been an interesting history. Accents are mere suggestion to her and her incessant rolling of inexistente Rea changes the meaning of words. This work required a narrator who could efficiently cross from English to Spanish and who had some knowledge of Mexican place names.

The narrator succeeds in destroying the book

Excellent story. Absolutely TERRIBLE narrator. No ability to pronounce words like San Luis Potosí she inflects on “to” and not on si and it comes up 100 times in a few chapters. Save your credits or cash. I want my money back

*Update*

Amazon sent a response from the recording company. It said we can’t really do anything but your concerns are noted.

Maybe implement quality control before it ever comes out!

Read on your own!!! Narrator cannot pronounce Spanish words!

I became progressively annoyed as the narrator of a book about Mexico mispronounced almost every Spanish word. Couldn’t they find a single Spanish- speaking narrator? She learned to roll her r but put the stress on the wrong syllable almost every time. Cringe! Ruined the experience for me.

Narrator wrecked it
