Editorial Reviews
Book Description

Every year, the United States spends millions of dollars to help the war--ravaged country of Colombia. But help it with what? In Colombia & the United States, Mario A. Murillo and Jesus Avirama explores the devastating impact that misdirected U.S. military "aid"-under the banner of "the war on drugs"-continues to have on the people of Colombia. They argue that the conflict in Colombia is not about drugs, nor guerillas, nor "terrorism," but rather about the unwillingness of the country's elite to open up spaces for truly democratic development.

Mario Murillo is the author of Islands of Resistance: Puerto Rico, Vieques and U.S. Policy.

Jesus Avirama, a member of the indigenous Kokonuco people, is a longtime activist.
