Marijuana Boom
Before Colombia became one of the world’s largest producers of cocaine in the 1980s, traffickers from the Caribbean coast partnered with American buyers in the 1970s to make the South American country the main supplier of marijuana for a booming US drug market, fueled by the US hippie counterculture. How did Colombia become central to the creation of an international drug trafficking circuit? Marijuana Boom is the story of this forgotten history. Combining deep archival research with unprecedented oral history, Lina Britto deciphers a puzzle: Why did the Colombian coffee republic, a model of Latin American representative democracy and economic modernization, transform into a drug paradise, and at what cost?

El proceso de paz en Colombia: disertaciones alrededor de una historia
Las negociaciones con el grupo insurgente de las FARC invitan a diálogos, reflexiones y disertaciones en torno a los antecedentes del proceso, los cuales permiten establecer un panorama más claro para el análisis y la comprensión de lo que significa una negociación que daría fin a un conflicto de más de 60 años, acercándose así de forma compleja a esclarecer las posibles consecuencias de la negociación y desmovilización del grupo insurgente en los diversos ámbitos de la vida nacional. Para ello, El proceso de paz en Colombia: disertaciones alrededor de una historia, recopila diversas miradas alrededor del ambiente de paz que se gesta en Cuba y que exige retomar la historia, la economía, la política, la Constitución y el impacto social que generaría un posible acuerdo y posterior desmovilización. Análogamente, la obra construye un análisis epistemológico conducente a reconstruir las grafías en las que se han realizado anteriores procesos de paz y sus implicaciones en la colectividad, reconociendo las ausencias y vacíos en las formas jurídicas, políticas y sociales, así como los aciertos y transformaciones para el desarrollo y la competitividad nacional
