The Wayuu, descendants of the Arawak Indians of the Guyanas, are one of the few ethnic groups throughout the American continent to have successfully resisted European domination. This book is a fantastic, dreamlike journey through the dynamic culture and landscapes of the Wayuu today -- a semi-nomadic community of shepherds who inhabit the Colombian peninsula of La Guajira, the most desolate and barren territory in the entire Caribbean.

The expansive diversity of Colombia and the beauty of its 51 natural parks are vividly presented in this collection of more than 700 photographs. From the Vía Parque Isla de Salamanca to the Old Providence McBean Lagoon, images of each park's landscape are accompanied by informative text, charts, and maps.
This book brings together academic and activist work on community media, feminist, decolonial, and Indigenous perspectives to digital activism, including Free and Open Communication in Latin America. The essays in this collection speak to major changes over the past decade that are reshaping digital media uses and practices. The case studies presented here question many commonly held assumptions around global media ownership, sustainability, and access relevant to countries beyond Latin American contexts.

What could be more relaxing? An unanticipated holiday takes the three San Martín brothers to the remote peninsula La Guajira in Colombia. Under no obligation to either of their employers, the Gendarmería Nacional of Argentina or the London-based World Designs Ltd., the young men think that at long last, they will have some downtime. But think again! Their planned trip of leisure takes several unexpected twists. To their annoyance, they manage to get sucked into a murder investigation. The discovery of the body unearths a conspiracy to smuggle cocaine from Colombia into neighboring Venezuela. Then, with their luck running from bad to worse, they find themselves caught in the crosshairs of a long-running family feud in the northern peninsula. However, it is the entrance of one small Wayuu boy who materializes on the center stage of the action that turns upside down not only their holiday, but also their lives.
