Description: The editorial project comprising caricatures and humor cartoons, in different formats that recall the last 200 years of history of Colombia as a nation, is the outcome of a monumental research that Beatriz González began in 1985, one of the most recognized and respected contemporary Colombian artists, when a happy coincidence "led her to combine studies of 19th-century art in the country and the history of cartooning, a subject so despised by traditional historians." It is also accompanied by some texts by other authors made especially for this edition. "It is the history of how Colombian cartoonists -with art, intelligence, and lucidity- have found in their humor not only as a flashlight pointing to injustices, but a form of denunciation and unmasking of the sins we have committed as a society since we are a nation. But it's also the discovery of hundreds of authors who have embodied their original thinking in images and how these images -in a thousand and one techniques ranging from drawing, engraving, oil to tv shows, tweeter, or standup comedy- often highlight the same crime or social or political corruption that has been repeated for 200 years" --publisher.
