Guerrilla Marketing
Brand warfare is real. Guerrilla Marketing details the Colombian government’s efforts to transform Marxist guerrilla fighters in the FARC into consumer citizens. Alexander L. Fattal shows how the market has become one of the principal grounds on which counterinsurgency warfare is waged and postconflict futures are imagined in Colombia. This layered case study illuminates a larger phenomenon: the convergence of marketing and militarism in the twenty-first century. Taking a global view of information warfare, Guerrilla Marketing combines archival research and extensive fieldwork not just with the Colombian Ministry of Defense and former rebel communities, but also with political exiles in Sw...
Human Rights in the Americas
The existence of human rights helps secure the peace, deter aggression, promote the rule of law, combat crime and corruption, and prevent humanitarian crises. These human rights include freedom from torture, freedom of expression, press freedom, women's rights, children's rights, and the protection of minorities. This book surveys the countries of the Americas and is augmented by a current bibliography and useful indexes by subject, title and author.
Museums, Exhibitions, and Memories of Violence in Colombia
This book explores how recent Colombian historical memories are informed by cultural diversity and how some of the country’s citizens remember the brutalities committed by the Army, guerrillas, and paramilitaries during the internal war (1980-2016). Its chapters delve into four case studies. The first highlights the selections of what not to remember and what not to represent at the National Museum of the country. The second focuses on the well-received memories at the same institution by examining a display made to commemorate the assassination of a demobilized guerrilla fighter. The third discusses how a rural marginal community decided to vividly remember the attacks they experienced by...

Farc Terrorismo na America do Sul
Em 400 páginas reforçadas com mais de 30 fotos históricas, o livro “La Selva Roja” (A Selva Vermelha,traducido por Biblex como Farc Terrorismo na America do Sul) analisa a inocultável união histórica das FARC com o Partido Comunista Colombiano, correlacionado com a teoria marxista-leninista da combinação de todas as formas de luta. Dividido em três etapas pontuais: bandoleirismo crônico, barbárie comunista e narco-terrorismo fariano, o livro resume a trajetória delitiva de Pedro Antonio Marín, cognome “Tirofijo”, cabeça das FARC durante cinco décadas; reconstrói a conjuntura histórica e as razões pelas quais uma dissidência das FARC criou o M-19; explica os pormeno...
Crónica de una guerrilla perdida
La historia inédita de la columna del M-19 que desapareció en la selva del Chocó Los hechos que aquí se narran ocurrieron a comienzos de 1981, cuando el M-19 era una guerrilla en ascenso. Los audaces robos de la espada de Bolívar y de las armas del Cantón Norte, la toma de la embajada de la República Dominicana y la cinematográfica fuga de algunos de sus máximos líderes de la cárcel La Picota fueron la antesala de un periodo en el que el M-19 soñó con la toma del poder por las armas. Como parte de su plan militar, una columna compuesta por cuarenta combatientes desembarcó en la ensenada de Utría luego de un curso básico en Cuba. Su misión era atravesar la espesa selva chocoana y establecer un nuevo frente de guerra. Pero la realidad de una población hostil y de una naturaleza inclemente les hizo perder el rumbo y finalmente la vida. Con la inclusión del diario de la famosa Chiqui, hasta hoy desaparecido, acá se reconstruye un capítulo olvidado de la historia del conflicto armado colombiano. El nuevo libro de Darío Villamizar es un relato impactante, una crónica minuciosa que nos muestra otra cara de la guerra y anticipa el desenlace del M-19.
