Since its independence in the nineteenth century, the South
American state of Colombia has been shaped by decades of bloody
political violence. In The Para-State, Aldo Civico draws on
interviews with paramilitary death squads and drug lords to provide
a cultural interpretation of the country's history of violence and
state control. Between 2003 and 2008, Civico gained unprecedented
access to some of Colombia's most notorious leaders of the death
squads. He also conducted interviews with the victims of
paramilitary, with drug kingpins, and with vocal public supporters
of the paramilitary groups. Drawing on the work of Deleuze and
Guattari, this riveting work demonstrates how the paramilitaries
have in essence become a war machine deployed by the Colombian
state to control and maintain its territory and political
legitimacy.
