Download or read book Colombia written by Michael J. LaRosa and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2013 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by two leading historians, this deeply informed and accessible book traces the history of Colombia thematically, covering the past two centuries. In ten interlinked chapters, Michael J. LaRosa and German R. Mejia depart from more standard approaches by presenting a history of political, social, and cultural accomplishments within the context of Colombia's specific geographic and economic realities. Their emphasis on cultural development, international relations, and everyday life contrasts sharply with works that focus only on Colombia's violent past or dwell on a Colombian economy deeply dependent on narcotics--a tragic nation that barely functions. Instead, the authors emphasize Colombia's remarkable national cohesion and endurance since the early nineteenth-century wars for independence. Including a photo essay, detailed chronology, and resource guide, this concise yet thorough history will be an invaluable resource for all readers seeking a thoughtful, definitive interpretation of Colombia's past and present. This updated paperback edition addresses the current peace negotiations in an epilogue titled "Chronicle of a Peace Forestalled?"

Book excerpt: Una historia fresca y concisa de Colombia, con todo lo que hay que saber para entender nuestro pasado y los desafíos del presente Cuando creíamos que ya todo estaba dicho sobre la historia de Colombia, llega este libro para de mostrarnos que todavía hay territorios nuevos por explorar. ¿Sabías, por ejemplo, que hubo españoles que estuvieron a favor de la independencia?, ¿que la Conquista fue apoyada por comunidades indígenas?, ¿que la primera huelga obrera en el país fue liderada por una mujer?, ¿o que el gran nivel de resistencia de los ciclistas colombianos se debe a un proceso microevolutivo que data de miles de años atrás? Esto y mucho más es abordado en estas páginas por Felipe Arias Escobar, quien nos invita a recorrer el pasado desde una perspectiva distinta y a entender el origen de los desafíos que enfrentamos en la actualidad. Además de presentar un panorama general de nuestra historia, el autor incluye al final de cada capítulo sugerencias bibliográficas y audiovisuales para que los lectores puedan ampliar sus conocimientos sobre lo que es y ha sido el devenir de nuestra sociedad

Download or read book Historia concisa de Colombia 1810 2013 written by Germán Mejía Pavony and published by Pontificia Universidad Javeriana. This book was released on 2013-12-05 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LaRosa y Mejía han hecho algo muy útil: ofrecerle al interesado un estudio completo, actualizado, bien investigado y de lectura fluida sobre Colombia, un país que, a pesar de su tamaño, su riqueza y su importancia geopolítica, sigue siendo uno de los países menos conocidos y peor comprendidos de América Latina. Aunque ambos autores son historiadores profesionales, su libro no es un trabajo académico tradicional. Es abiertamente “presentista”, como a veces dicen los historiadores con cierto desdén. Sus diez capítulos apuntan menos a diseccionar los misterios del pasado, el ejercicio favorito de los académicos, que a explicar, del modo más conciso posible, cómo Colombia se volvió lo que ahora es. En pocas palabras, muestran el surgimiento de este país como una nación moderna, viable y a todas luces exitosa. Pamela Murray

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recorrido general sobre los aspectos más resaltantes en los órdenes político, social, económico, cultural y militar ocurridos en el actual territorio de la Republica de Colombia desde la época precolombina hasta 1984, mediante los cuales de forma magistral e hilada el autor articula con un lenguaje ameno y de fácil comrpensión, la estructura integral de la evolución dinámica del país en su conjunto. Al cumplirse 200 años de vida independiente como república el 7 de agosto de 2019, es oportuno reproducir esta obra que durante varias décadas fue actualizada por el sacerdote jesuita Rafael Granados, para que miles de colombianos recibieran cátedra de historia patria, siempre comparada con los vaivenes internos y externos, por lo tanto es un documento confiable y de gran utilidad, para los colombianos que viven dentro y fuera del país. Pero este aporte no es solo para los adultos, sino para los niños y jóvenes que como consecuencia de una errónea decisión en 1984, por parte del entonces presidente de la república Belisario Betancur Cuartas, al suspender la materia de historia patria en Colombia, incidió en el alto índice de desconocimiento generalizadp de quiénes somos los colombianos, de dónde venimos, cuales son nuestras raíces, nuestros valores culturales, nuestros sueños comunes como nación, en donde reside nuestra identidad socio-cultural y cuál debe ser la proyección integral del país. Enhorabuena llega esta obra para refrescar conocimientos a quienes ya los poseen y para informar con creces a quienes deseen profundizar en todos los procesos históricos, sociales, políticos, económicos y culturales de nuestra páis, a lo largo de seis centurias de hechos verificables y medibles.

Download or read book From Frontier Town to Metropolis written by Jane M. Rausch and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2007 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Villavicencio, the capital of the Department of Meta, is located just 120 miles from Bogot , the mountains of the eastern Andean Cordillera lies between the two cities. As a result, after its founding in 1842, Villavicencio remained an isolated frontier outpost for more than one hundred years--even though "El Portal de la Llanura" ("the Gateway to the Plains") provided the principal access to Colombia's tropical plains (Llanos), a vast grassy region cut by tributaries connecting with the Meta and Guaviare rivers and eventually the Orinoco. Nineteenth- and twentieth-century governments in Bogot regarded the Llanos as the "Eastern Lands of Promise," underestimating the geographic and climatic obstacles to their development. From Frontier Town to Metropolis recounts the history of the town and explains how, by the twenty-first century, it became a thriving metropolis with a population nearing three hundred thousand. During the next sixty years, it became the principal urban center of the Llanos despite the continual presence of militant guerrillas, paramilitaries, and drug traffickers. This book examines the developments that transformed Villavicencio, drawing on data collected about the Colombian Llanos over a period of forty years. Noted researcher Jane M. Rausch offers a detailed treatment of the development of Villavicencio and the Department of Meta as a microcosm of Colombia's eastern frontier. The book incorporates a wealth of research published in Spanish by Colombian scholars in the last twenty years and is the first history of Villavicencio available to English-speaking scholars. It considers the important topics of when a frontier is no longer a frontier and the role played by frontier images in contemporary nationalism.
