Summary "Through an exploration of the cultural processes that perpetuate the "darker side" of Latin America for global consumption, this book investigates the "condition" that has led writers, filmmakers, and artists to embrace (purposefully or not) the incessant violence in Colombian society as the object of their own creative endeavors"-- Provided by publisher.
