Las izquierdas en Colombia

"Important book analyzes historical development of various leftist movements from legal parties, such as the Partido Comunista de Colombia, to labor unions and armed guerrilla organizations. Proposes that a dialogue among contemporary political theorists, such as Norberto Bobbio, Eric Hobsbawm, and Perry Anderson, could contribute to a reconstruction of the Colombian left"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
