"An important contribution to Colombian historical writing.
Rausch's works have helped orient and stimulate a school of
historical writing in Colombia."--James D. Henderson, author of
Modernization in Colombia: The Laureano Gomez Years, 1889-1965
"With this fourth and final volume, Rausch completes her
authoritative cycle of studies charting the history of Colombia's
Llanos Orientales. Her work can take its rightful place alongside
that of Orlando Fals Borda's innovative four-volume exploration of
the Colombian Atlantic coast, Historia Doble de la Costa."--W. John
Green, author of Gaitanismo, Left Liberalism, and Popular
Mobilization in Colombia Prior to the 1980s, Colombia's Llanos
Orientales was a vast plain of tropical grassland east of the
Andes. Populated mainly by indigenous people, the area was
considered "primitive" until exploitable petroleum deposits were
discovered. The finding transformed the Llanos into the fastest
growing region in the country. In this volume, Jane Rausch surveys
sixty years of history in the Llanos, between 1946 and 2010,
combining perspective gained by her first-hand experiences with
archival research. She examines the Colombian government's Llanos
policies and the political, economic, and social changes they have
brought about. Rausch's large-scale historical survey of the region
ultimately reveals that as a South American frontier, the Llanos is
politically and economically critical to both Colombia's present
and its future.
