Summary:
Written by two leading historians, this book traces the
history
of
Colombia
thematically, covering the past two centuries. In ten interlinked chapters, the authors depart from more standard approaches by presenting a
history
of political, social, and cultural accomplishments within the context of
Colombia
's specific geographic and economic realities. Their emphasis on cultural development, international relations, and everyday life contrasts sharply with works that focus only on
Colombia
's violent past or dwell on a Colombian economy deeply dependent on narcotics, a tragic nation that barely functions. Instead, the authors emphasize
Colombia
's remarkable national cohesion and endurance since the early nineteenth-century wars for independence. Including a photo essay, detailed chronology, and resource guide, this
history
presents a thoughtful, definitive interpretation of
Colombia
's past and present.
