Reviews
The Colombia Reader 's editors have done extraordinary work, especially by including the voices of those who are historically marginalized or omitted in traditional histories of Colombia. In the past I have had to rely on texts I have personally translated for use in my courses if I wanted students to think beyond the narrow categories typically used to define Colombia's history. Solving this scarcity of translated texts, The Colombia Reader is a great teaching resource., Including a wide range of photographs and reproductions of works of art, this remarkable and exciting collection is an indispensable work for all libraries, all scholars of Colombia, Latin Americanists of all sorts, and any interested reader. Essential. All levels/libraries., "In this stunning textual and visual compilation of daily historical moments, the Colombian people come alive, so that they may finally be understood alongside their fellow Latin Americans."--Herbert Braun, author of Our Guerrillas, Our Sidewalks: A Journey into the Violence of Colombia, This book will allow us to write, teach, and tell not only different histories of Colombia but to write, teach, and tell those histories differently.... This collection will certainly become a foundational teaching tool not only for the histories of Colombia but also those of Latin America., The Colombia Reader 's editors have done extraordinary work, especially by including of the voices of those who are historically marginalized or omitted in traditional histories of Colombia.
