Trade Review
"David Bushnell's The Making of Modern Colombia is a timely, important addition to the historiography of Latin America that will certainly stand as the basic English-language text on that country. As such, it should not only help shape and inform an upcoming generation of students and professional scholars of Colombia, but it should also heighten the awareness and understanding of all in the English-speaking world of this important member of the international community. In this capacity, it may even advance the quantity and quality of dialogue among said countries and peoples." * Journal of Interamerican Studies and World Affairs *
