"Highly original in its analytical clarity, this book throws real light on the connections between how powerful economic interests treat land and violence during, after, and outside of war. Richani provides an important lens through which to debate the ongoing threats to the peasant/indigenous/Afro-Colombian economy while remaining sensitive to gender and to women's active role in the resistances to rentier subsummation." — Jenny Pearce, author of Politics without Violence? Towards a Post-Weberian Enlightenment
