Reviews
“Mary Roldán’s enduring commitment to the history of Colombia, and to the principles of thoroughness, fairness, and accuracy, combine to make this a truly exceptional book. Colombia is perhaps the least-known or understood country in Latin America, and yet the United States’ involvement with it only continues to grow. By following the day-to-day evolution of partisan conflict in the region of Antioquia during the dreadful period of carnage remembered simply as la Violencia, Roldán makes possible a crucial understanding of the current violence in that beautiful and baffling Andean country.”—Alma Guillermoprieto, author of Looking for History: Dispatches from Latin America
“This marvelous book makes important contributions in multiple ways. Beyond her nuanced analysis of the la Violencia and of sociopolitical values and ethnic/racial attitudes in Antioquia, Roldan illuminates important features of the political system. Her work, already influential among scholars working on twentieth-century Colombia, fortunately will now be available to a wider audience.”—Frank Safford, author of Colombia: Fragmented Land, Divided Society
