Colombia: A Concise Contemporary History
- Used Book in Good Condition
Written by two leading historians, this deeply informed and accessible book traces the history of Colombia thematically, covering the past two centuries. In ten interlinked chapters, Michael J. LaRosa and GermÃ¡n R. MejÃa depart from more standard approaches by presenting a history of political, social, and cultural accomplishments within the context of Colombiaâ€™s specific geographic and economic realities. Their emphasis on cultural development, international relations, and everyday life contrasts sharply with works that focus only on Colombiaâ€™s violent past or dwell on a Colombian economy deeply dependent on narcoticsâ€”a tragic nation that barely functions. Instead, the authors emphasize Colombiaâ€™s remarkable national cohesion and endurance since the early nineteenth-century wars for independence. Including a photo essay, detailed chronology, and resource guide, this concise yet thorough history will be an invaluable resource for all readers seeking a thoughtful, definitive interpretation of Colombiaâ€™s past and present.
