Freedom’s Captives
Forgotten Peace
Robert Karl's new book is a significant achievement. This fine-grained political history demonstrates that Colombia's multiple chronologies of violence can only be understood by attending first to the regional. His final chapter is particularly compelling and will be required reading for anyone seeking to decipher the origins of the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC).Across chronologically ordered chapters, his maps and clear desc…
A Sentimental Education for the Working Man
Robert M. Buffington’s compelling study makes a contribution that extends well beyond what a reader might initially expect from a tightly focused study of satiric newspapers and broadsides produced in Mexico City for working-class (and other) audiences between 1900 and 1910. Methodologically, Buffington provides a master class in close reading. He skillfully contextualizes what were in some cases ephemeral texts, tracing, for example, the careful…
Cauca's Indigenous Movement in Southwestern Colombia
Brett Troyan has produced a thoughtful and persuasively argued history of Cauca and of the emergence of a movement for indigenous self-determination in that Colombian department.

As an analysis of gender norms and the subtle cultural meanings that attach to beauty it is somewhat less successful, although thought-provoking and a good read throughout. Across nine chapters and an epilogue, structured chronologically, the strengths …
