Title: Fantastic, fair analysis of the contemporary conflict
Review: In anticipation of moving to Colombia, I have spent a great deal of time researching the country's current sociopolitical situation and trying to sort through the abundance of books that exist on the subject. The in-depth and critical analyses presented in this collection of articles, authored primarily by known Colombian scholars living and working in Colombia, offer truly invaluable insider perspectives on a variety of subjects. It's a necessary and refreshing read for those who have been exposed mainly to North American interpretations of the situation.I have not found a better book on the subject. Period. If you are seriously interested in and care about what's going on in Colombia today, this book is a must-read.Its predecessor, "Violence in Colombia - The Contemporaray Crisis in a Historical Perspective," is nearly as good and well worth looking into also.
