Reviews

"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."

-- J. M. Rosenthal Choice

"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."

-- A. Ricardo López Revista
