Summary

"This marvelous book makes important contributions in multiple ways. Beyond her nuanced analysis of the "la Violencia" and of sociopolitical values and ethnic/racial attitudes in Antioquia, Roldan illuminates important features of the political system. Her work, already influential among scholars working on twentieth-century Colombia, fortunately will now be available to a wider audience."--Frank Safford, author of "Colombia: Fragmented Land, Divided Society "
