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?"

Colombia's status as the fourth largest nation in Latin America and third most populous—as well as its largest exporter of such disparate commodities as emeralds, books, processed cocaine, and cut flowers—makes this, the first history of Colombia written in English, a much-needed book. It tells the remarkable story of a country that has consistently defied modern Latin American stereotypes—a country where military dictators are virtually unknown, where the political left is congenitally weak, and where urbanization and industrialization have spawned no lasting populist movement. There is more to Colombia than the drug trafficking and violence that have recently gripped the world's attention. In the face of both cocaine wars and guerrilla conflict, the country has maintained steady economic growth as well as a relatively open and democratic government based on a two-party system. It has also produced an impressive body of art and literature. David Bushnell traces the process of state-building in Colombia from the struggle for independence, territorial consolidation, and reform in the nineteenth century to economic development and social and political democratization in the twentieth. He also sheds light on the modern history of Latin America as a whole.

The Republic of Colombia can be found at the top-right hand corner of the continent of South America. It stretches back to the pre-Columbian era, when a number of different indigenous civilizations, such as the Tairona, the Muisca, and the Quimbaya, inhabited the territory. This region has a rich history that dates back to this time period. Conquistadors from Spain first arrived in the area in the 16th century and began building colonies there, thereby laying the foundation for the Spanish Empire in Colombia. The Spanish colonial rule had a profound effect on the native populations throughout the course of the subsequent few centuries. A campaign for independence from Spanish authority began in the early 19th century, and by 1810, the first steps towards independence had been accomplished. In 1819, the area that is now Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, and Venezuela were all included in the territory that was designated as the Republic of Colombia. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, Colombia was subject to enormous political and social shifts, including the emergence of drug cartels, civil wars, and territorial conflicts. The country has continued to develop and has made major achievements in recent years, becoming an important role in South America and the world. There are tropical rainforests in the Amazon Basin, high-altitude peaks in the Andes Mountains, and coastlines on both the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean in the country of Colombia. This makes Colombia a country with a diversified topography. Because of this diversity, there is a large variety of climates and weather patterns, ranging from equatorial and tropical regions to mountainous regions, which each have their own unique microclimates. In addition, the country is home to an astonishingly extensive variety of flora and wildlife, including more than 60,000 different kinds of plant life and untold numbers of animal species. Because of its exceptionally high level of biological diversity, Colombia has earned the distinction of being a global "hotspot" for biodiversity due to its status as one of the world's most ecologically varied countries. In addition to having a rich natural legacy, Colombia also has a diversified cultural heritage. Its folklore, traditions, food, music, and dance are all influenced by a rich blend of indigenous, African, and Spanish cultures, which can be observed in many aspects of Colombian life. Because of its rich cultural tapestry as well as its breathtaking natural beauty, Colombia is a country that is genuinely one of a kind, fascinating, and full of opportunities to explore and uncover new things.

David Sowell traces the history of artisan labor organizations in Bogotá and examines long-term political activity of Colombian artisans in the century after independence. Relying on contemporary newspapers, political handouts, broadsides, and public petitions, Sowell analyzes the economic, social, and political history of the capital's artisan class, a middling social sector with very significant social and political strengths. This is the first study in English of nineteenth-century Latin American artisans and one of the few treatments that spans the whole of nineteenth-century Colombian history.The rise and late decline of artisan class political activity coincided the Colombia's integration into the world market. Initially petitioning for tariff protection, Bogotá's craftsmen in time mobilized to address numerous issues, including industrial education, internal trade order, credit, and better health and educational facilities. Sowell traces the transformation of Colombia's economy and the (mainly negative) effects its evolution had on bogotano artisans. By the end of the nineteenth century, the artisans class was fragmented, their labor leadership replaced by workers associated with industrial production, transportation systems, and the production of coffee. Author note: David Sowell is Assistant Professor of History at Juniata College.
