This history of Colombia's illegal drug trade--and of the extreme violence it created--describes how in the late 1960s narcotics traffickers from the United States convinced Colombians who had no previous involvement in the drug trade to grow marijuana for export to America. By the early '70s, foreign (mostly American) traffickers began requesting cocaine. This book focuses on the decades of crime and violence the illegal drug trade brought to Colombia and how this social upset was ended in the early 2000s. Six chapters detail the Medellin and Cali cartels' war against the Colombian government, the revolutionary guerrillas' war against the government, the war that paramilitary groups conducted against the guerrillas, and the way in which the government finally put a stop to the cartel-financed bloodshed. In conclusion, the author assesses Colombia's progress and prospects since the end of the violence claimed the lives of some 300,000 between 1975 and 2008.

The Battle for Peace

This is the comprehensive account of the long and difficult road traveled to end the fifty-year armed conflict with the FARC, the oldest guerrilla army in the world; a long war that left more than eight million victims. The obstacles to peace were both large and dangerous. All previous attempts to negotiate with the FARC had failed, creating an environment where differences were irreconcilable and political will was scarce. The Battle for Peace is the story not only of the six years of negotiation and the peace process that transformed a country, its secret contacts, its international implications, and difficulties and achievements but also of the two previous decades in which Colombia oscil...

Esta edición incluye once textos de los que se publicaron en la primera edición, algunos de los cuales se han actualizado a las nuevas realidades y retos de la fotografía, en los cuales autoras y autores reflexionan sobre el papel de la fotografía en relación con la memoria, la historia, la documentación y la construcción de un relato social.

Fotografías durante el conflicto armado en Colombia

Desde el comienzo una premisa animó la investigación de la que es resultado este libro: si bien durante el conflicto en las capas urbanas hemos visto predominantemente fotografías hechas por fotoperiodistas —sobre todo a partir de los años más intensos, luego de la década de 1980—, mientras la confrontación se prolongó otras personas implicadas directamente en la contienda también hicieron fotos. Hay otras miradas que por mucho tiempo permanecieron ocultas y que apenas, recientemente, empezamos a conocer. Existen fotografías producidas durante la guerra que aún no hemos visto y quién sabe si algún día las veremos. Una de las propuestas que se explotan a partir del archivo conformado durante la investigación es que la práctica fotográfica y, evidentemente, las fotografías instituyen un campo visual, un espacio común.
