La sombra del pasado : Testimonios de la época de La Violencia en el Quindío y el norte del Valle

Abstract

The era of the 50s of the 20th century was one of the most turbulent in the contemporary history of Colombia. This writing will focus on developing and explaining, through the reconstruction of memory with stories and documentary research, what it meant for many Colombians to experience a turning point, known as La Violencia, in several small towns in the north of the department of Valle del Cauca and how this phenomenon changed the very lives of many inhabitants, whose voices were never heard.
