Colombia is the fourth largest country in South America and one of
the continent s most populous nations. It has substantial oil
reserves and is a major producer of gold, silver, emeralds,
platinum, and coal, along with a significant number of natural
resources. Colombia has also been ravaged by a decades-long violent
conflict involving outlawed armed groups, drug cartels, and gross
violations of human rights. Recently the country has made some
progress towards improving security, and President Santos has
pledged to continue to improve security by passing laws to
strengthen the judicial system; a reform of the manner of
distributing royalties paid by mining and petroleum companies; and
a tougher law against corruption. The Historical Dictionary of
Colombia covers the history of Colombia through a chronology, an
introductory essay, appendixes, and a bibliography. The dictionary
section has over 1,000 cross-referenced entries on important
personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and
culture. This book is an excellent access point for students,
researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Colombia."
