A partir de sus memorias personales, llenas de anécdotas desconocidas, el autor hace un análisis del manejo político que le dio a este proceso, y revela los entresijos del poder en una narración directa y apasionante con reflexiones sobre cómo superar los obstáculos para lograr objetivos mayores que sirvan al bien común.

Book excerpt: ¿Guerra o paz? A través de la pluma de Santiago Gamboa un recorrido histórico sobre este controvertido tema. Santiago Gamboa se propone, con este ensayo, hacer un aporte a la reflexión que hoy se plantea el país acerca de los temas del conflicto y la reconciliación. Y lo hace por medio de un rico e ilustrador viaje a través de lahistoria, para mostrar las distintas caras de la guerra y el camino que otros pueblos han recorrido en la construcción de la paz, la creación más elaborada y valiosa de la civilización. La paz, afirma Gamboa, será posiblemente#el más decisivo y contundente de todos los combates librados por la sociedad colombiana en las últimas décadas#. #A lo largo de este libro pretendo interrogar, desde una perspectiva humanista y cultural, el modo como la guerra ha ido transformando a las sociedades y lo que ha significado la paz en algunos momentos claves. Y aunque no soyun historiador ni un teórico, he querido ver los avatares de esa experiencia a través de la historia, la literatura, la filosofía e incluso las religiones; también, en algún caso concreto, desde mi propia experiencia directa de cronista y viajero curioso.# SANTIAGO GAMBOA
Download or read book The Battle for Peace written by Juan Manuel Santos and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2021-04-28 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the comprehensive account of the long and difficult road traveled to end the fifty-year armed conflict with the FARC, the oldest guerrilla army in the world; a long war that left more than eight million victims. The obstacles to peace were both large and dangerous. All previous attempts to negotiate with the FARC had failed, creating an environment where differences were irreconcilable and political will was scarce. The Battle for Peace is the story not only of the six years of negotiation and the peace process that transformed a country, its secret contacts, its international implications, and difficulties and achievements but also of the two previous decades in which Colombia oscillated between warlike confrontation and negotiated solution. In The Battle for Peace Juan Manuel Santos shares the lessons he learned about war and peace and how to build a successful negotiation process in the context of a nation that had all but resigned itself to war and the complexities of twenty-first-century international law and diplomacy. While Santos is clear that there is no handbook for making peace, he offers conflict-tested guidance on the critical parameters, conditions, and principles as well as rich detail on the innovations that made it possible for his nation to find common ground and a just solution.

This book was released on 2014-09-04 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El coronel Ildefonso Puigdengolas Ponce de León (1876-1936) fue un veterano que luchó en Cuba y Marruecos y desarrolló su historial en el Cuerpo de Seguridad, institución policial de la Segunda República. Bien considerado por los políticos republicanos, fue nombrado gobernador militar de Badajoz, ciudad que fue tomada por las fuerzas sublevadas. Las verdaderas circunstancias de la caída de Badajoz han estado ocultas hasta hace muy poco por la prensa-propaganda de la época, que escondió y deformó lo que realmente sucedió. Del máximo responsable militar de la defensa de Badajoz no sabíamos casi nada y muchos de los datos que circulaban sobre él eran difusos y contradictorios. Este libro aporta información nueva sobre su vida y su personalidad, pero también desmiente falsedades vertidas sobre este militar y el que fue el episodio más importante de su carrera.
Download or read book Colombia s Narcotics Nightmare written by James D. Henderson and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-02-24 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This history of Colombia's illegal drug trade--and of the extreme violence it created--describes how in the late 1960s narcotics traffickers from the United States convinced Colombians who had no previous involvement in the drug trade to grow marijuana for export to America. By the early '70s, foreign (mostly American) traffickers began requesting cocaine. This book focuses on the decades of crime and violence the illegal drug trade brought to Colombia and how this social upset was ended in the early 2000s. Six chapters detail the Medellin and Cali cartels' war against the Colombian government, the revolutionary guerrillas' war against the government, the war that paramilitary groups conducted against the guerrillas, and the way in which the government finally put a stop to the cartel-financed bloodshed. In conclusion, the author assesses Colombia's progress and prospects since the end of the violence claimed the lives of some 300,000 between 1975 and 2008.

Download or read book Entre Guadalupe y Malinche written by Inés Hernández-Ávila and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2016-02-23 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mexican and Mexican American women have written about Texas and their lives in the state since colonial times. Edited by fellow Tejanas Inés Hernández-Ávila and Norma Elia Cantú, Entre Guadalupe y Malinche gathers, for the first time, a representative body of work about the lives and experiences of women who identify as Tejanas in both the literary and visual arts. The writings of more than fifty authors and the artwork of eight artists manifest the nuanced complexity of what it means to be Tejana and how this identity offers alternative perspectives to contemporary notions of Chicana identity, community, and culture. Considering Texas-Mexican women and their identity formations, subjectivities, and location on the longest border between Mexico and any of the southwestern states acknowledges the profound influence that land and history have on a people and a community, and how Tejana creative traditions have been shaped by historical, geographical, cultural, linguistic, social, and political forces. This representation of Tejana arts and letters brings together the work of rising stars along with well-known figures such as writers Gloria Anzaldúa, Emma Pérez, Alicia Gaspar de Alba, Carmen Tafolla, and Pat Mora, and artists such as Carmen Lomas Garza, Kathy Vargas, Santa Barraza, and more. The collection attests to the rooted presence of the original indigenous peoples of the land now known as Tejas, as well as a strong Chicana/Mexicana feminism that has its precursors in Tejana history itself.

Download or read book Latin American Thinkers of Peace written by Roberto Domínguez and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-08-28 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes seven Latin American thinkers who have contributed to building bridges for reconciliation and peace: Carlos Saavedra Lamas, Adolfo Pérez Esquivel, Alfonso García Robles, Óscar Arias Sánchez, Rigoberta Menchú Tum, Juan Manuel Santos, and Javier Pérez de Cuéllar. Working within an eclectic conceptual approach to systematize the circulation of ideas embraced by each one of the thinkers, the various contributions delve into the current literature of leadership and intellectuals in Politics and Global International Relations (GIR). Overall, the central premises of the analysis are based on three fundamentals of mainstream constructivism: a) change across time and space in the lifetime of each thinker under analysis in this book; b) socialization through changing norms, rules, and language; and c) processes of interaction in which actors make choices in selecting networks and strategies). Coming from different walks of life, the seven thinkers examined in this book have accessed the global public square and discussed ideas to reduce conflicts at different scales. In their respective historical times, they circulated their views and ideas beyond the confines of Latin America to influence global political thought and produce change in favor of peace.

Download or read book The Ten Cents War written by Bruce W. Farcau and published by Praeger. This book was released on 2000-09-30 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Atacama Desert, a coastal area where the borders of Chile, Peru, and Bolivia meet, was a region of little interest in the late nineteenth century until European research on the use of nitrates in fertilizers and explosives rendered the droppings of millions of sea birds a valuable commodity. In a move that echoed the California Gold Rush, the three neighboring countries soon battled for control of the region. In 1879, a comparatively modern and powerful Chile seized Bolivia's coastal province, and a secret alliance between Peru and Bolivia soon led to a full-scale war, one which saw the employment of much new military technology. Using such new weapons as the breech-loading rifle, rapid-fire cannon, ironclad warships, torpedoes, and electronic mines, Chile quickly crushed the allied armies, but a guerrilla war would drag on for years. While the three armies fought over some of the most inhospitable terrain imaginable, from burning, waterless deserts to snow-clogged mountain passes at 15,000 feet, their governments bumbled and wrangled. In the end, the lure of easy wealth undermined the economies of all three nations and served no good purpose when the market for nitrates soon evaporated, leaving all three much poorer for the experience.
