ITEM OVERVIEW
"The people whose stories Molano tells are not social activists. They do not provide political or structural explanations of their lives; they do not tell stories of coming to consciousness. Yet together their stories add up to a powerful analysis of today's Colombia, and should indeed inspire U.S. readers to challenge the U.S. policies that continue to kill, impoverish, and displace the people of Colombia." —Aviva Chomsky, from the foreword
"This book is proof that today's Latin American literature reaches far and digs deep. Alfredo Molano isn't a novelist or poet, but rather a sociologist who realized that 'the way to understand wasn't to study people but to listen to them.' The testimonies that Molano collects are a point of departure for a work that knows how to relate, like few others can, Colombia's pain, in a language that has more colors than the rainbow." —Eduardo Galeano
