Social Protests in Colombia: A History, 1958-1990 examines social
mobilization in Colombia through a variety of lenses in an
interdisciplinary approach. Mauricio Archila-Neira incorporates
theories from diverse social sciences including subaltern studies
and postcolonial approaches to open up an intergenerational
dialogue about political transformation and social change.
Archila-Neira approaches this history from an objective viewpoint,
offering an analysis from a distance not altered by emotion or
hyperbole as he examines the values, traditions, and social
collective action of subaltern sectors without external influence
or motive. The book argues that academia bears the responsibility
to put into play its accumulated symbolic capital to critically
understand society, without abandoning the utopic effort to imagine
another world is possible. Social Protests in Colombia teaches
readers how to inhabit differences-of historical experiences,
knowledge, and understandings-and why it is crucial to challenge a
world that claims to be homogenous. Scholars of Latin American
studies, sociology, political science, and history will find this
book especially useful.
