Violencia paramilitar en sectores económicos clave en Honduras: El brazo violento del «desarrollo»
Classified as one of the countries with the highest incidence of homicide and femicide in the world, Honduras has been revealed as a flashpoint for violence perpetrated by the drug cartels and gangs. However, to reduce the problem of violence to simply «criminality» is inexact because it focuses upon the symptoms, to the detriment of the core causes, and which drives increasing involvement in the Armed Forces and the Police, bodies that are respo…
Pro-Capitalist Violence and the Great Wave of Dispossession

Legalizing the Illegal: Paramilitarism in Colombia’s ‘Post-Paramilitary’ Era

Examination of the experiences of one contemporary Latin American indigenous rural movement, the Indigenous Regional Council of Cauca (CRIC), demonstrates the centrality to those experiences of resource expropriation, exploitation, and military repression. At the same time, it draws attention to the ways in which the cultural history of the indigenous people of Cauca has shaped their strategies of resistance. Out of this analysis arises the argum…
