Revolutionary Social Change in Colombia: The Origin and Direction of the FARC-EP
"A theoretically and empirically rich analysis of the insurgency and its historical origins. This will become a reference point for scholars seeking to understanding the structural origins of Colombia's ongoing conflict." —Dr Doug Stokes, Senior Lecturer in International Relations, University of Kent, Canterbury, UK. "A valuable study of the causes, meaning and significance of the armed insurgency in Colombia. It [presents a welcome break from the hegemony of the apolitical discourses that have dominated the scholarship on Colombia's conflict."—Nazih Richani, Associate Professor of Political Science and Director of Latin American Studies, Kean University  "Based on extensive first-hand research in guerrilla-controlled regions, Brittain chronicles the origins, development and achievements of Colombia’s FARC-EP while dispelling many of the myths surrounding the rebel group.
