The Good Don’t Use Umbrellas: Deconstructing a Police Frame-Up and Exposing the State

by Asel Luzarraga Zarrabeitia, Penny Rimbaud (Foreword), Georgina Jimenez (Translator)

In December 2009, Basque punk Asel Luzarraga appeared on every news outlet in Chile, in handcuffs, under arrest and accused of terrorism against the state. A self-proclaimed anarchist and a celebrated author in his home country, Asel had moved to Chile not long before. But the evidence against him didn’t stack up. His arrest and trial made for a political thriller of police corruption, state oppression and media manipulation that did not hesitate to make links with ETA, international terrorism and Mapuche violence. The Good Don’t Use Umbrellas is the chronicle of those events, told by its protagonist.

[Rocio Moragues · Rating 4 out of 5]

Un relato muy bien logrado y detallado, aunque súper reiterativo en muchas cuestiones. Desnuda al 100% lo asqueroso que es estado chileno y sus carabineros.
