This brand-new book about the Colombian people's struggle for social and economic justice, and against U.S. intervention, is a must-read for activists worldwide and for students interested in these issues which impact upon all of Latin America.
"WAR IN COLOMBIA: MADE IN USA" presents a unique and original analysis of the situation in Colombia. Its writings counter the information and propaganda disseminated by the U.S. government and media by telling the truth about what's really happening there.
The writings, by leading figures, scholars, and activists, explain the reality faced by the Colombian people, relates the truth about their struggles, and exposes the growing U.S. role there.
"WAR IN COLOMBIA: MADE IN USA" is also a resource and organizing tool for all activists who oppose increasing U.S. military intervention there. While the U.S. government and media disseminate false information to undermine support for the peoples' struggles against economic and political injustice, this book, this book gives the facts and information organizers need to explain and mobilize against the threats posed by growing U.S. intervention.
The material includes background history and perspectives of the popular movements, trade unionists and human rights activists. It also reviews the historical intervention by the U.S. in Colombia and throughout the region, gives an analysis of Plan Colombia and explains how progressive forces throughout the world oppose it.
This work brings together a compilation of voices that oppose U.S. intervention in Colombia and who express their solidarity with the people of that nation. Authors include Ramsey Clark, Rep. Cynthia McKinney, Gloria Gaitan, Fidel Castro, Raul Reyes, Manuel Marulanda, Stan Goff, Teresa Gutierrez, James Petras, Javier Correa, Sen. Paul Wellstone, Roy Bourgeois, Gloria La Riva, Garry Leech and many others.
In these pages, you will find an expose of "Plan Colombia," whereby the U.S. government allocated $2 billion for operations there. The Bush Administration has sent U.S. Special Forces units there to train Colombian troops and will increase that number early in 2003. U.S. major oil and other corporations wield much power in Colombia and are promoting U.S. intervention to protect their interests.
In these pages, readers will find out the truth about: the nearly 40,000 Colombians who have died in recent years, the 2.5 million have been displaced, and the broad sectors who are heroically fighting inhumane policies mandated by the multinational corporations like Coca-Cola and the big oil companies.
