A History of Political Murder in Latin America
The Triumph of Politics
Adventuring through Spanish Colonies
Political Cultures in the Andes, 1750-1950
Bright youngsters with brilliant older siblings are dealt a tricky hand. They have potential, but they must stare down the accomplishments of those who came before. Political Cultures in the Andes has just such a sibling, also published by Duke University Press: Everyday Forms of State Formation: Revolution and the Negotiation of Rule in Modern Mexico (1994). The family resemblance jumps out in themes, organizational structure, and how they build…

Contentious Republicans
Colombianists are often struck (or at least I am) by a jarring contradiction between Colombia’s long history of democratic and popular mobilization and the somewhat condescending image of “false democracy” generated by a more recent and journalistic focus. James Sanders’s excellent new book once again drives home this recurring sense of discontinuity. He dives into the popular politics of the nineteenth-century Cauca Valley, a key region where ma…

Sibling Rivalry on the Left and Labor Struggles in Colombia During the 1940s
On the Colombian Left during the 1940s, little differentiated the rank and file of the Communist party from the left wing of the Liberal party. Individuals commonly moved back and forth between the two groups. Animosity was rampant among leaders, however, as shown by the clashes between the principal compañeros and Jorge Eliécer Gaitán's left-Liberal populist mobilization. As this rivalry played out in the Communist strongholds of the union movem…
Left Liberalism and Race in the Evolution of Colombian Popular National Identity
Though a nation of discordant regionalism and historically weak central institutions, Colombia can paradoxically claim strong currents of popular national identity. It is well known that long centuries of relative economic isolation, coupled with Colombia's largely subsistence internal economy and torturous topography, provided few opportunities to integrate the nation's different regions. Such conditions resulted in fractured regional identities…
Vibrations of the Collective
T n H E allure of Gaitanismo, the populist political movement led by Colombian politician Jorge Eliecer Gaitain, sometimes seemed otherworldly to contemporary observers. Juan Manuel Valdelamar, an influential labor leader, remarked that in the Colombian department of Bolivar, all the campesinos have a portrait of Gaitain in their homes, and daily they tend it with a mistica that approaches adoration.' Nevertheless, the quasi-religious reverence G…
