Counting the Dead: The Culture and Politics of Human Rights Activism in Colombia
by Winifred Tate. University of California Press. A very vividly written history of Colombia’s non-governmental human rights movement based on dozens of interviews with participants in Colombia’s often bitter and dangerous human-rights debates, ranging from veteran activists to military officers. It takes an unflinching look at some of the most contentious issues surrounding human rights work in Colombia. Issues like how the military, beyond the rhetoric, really views human rights. How Colombia’s government manages to give the illusion of action on human rights while achieving nothing. How Colombian NGOs are dealing with the need to criticize guerrilla violations. And these organizations’ perennial difficulties in working together, divided by everything from politics to geography to personalities.

The People Behind Colombian Coal: Mining, Multinationals and Human Rights
by Aviva Chomsky, Garry Leech, Steve Striffler, Casa Editorial Pisando Callos, ISBN: 9789589799550 This book, as the title suggests, is about the people behind Colombian coal. More precisely, it is about the people behind the coal produced at El Cerrejón, the world’s largest open-pit coal mine, which is located in La Guajira in northern Colombia. The book aims to illustrate how the multinational mining companies that own El Cerrejón profit at the expense of the “people” of the Guajira region whose plight has remained hidden “behind the Colombian coal” that many of us in North America and Europe rely on to generate our electricity.
Since the Cerrejón Mine opened in 1983, its operations and constant expansion have forcibly displaced indigenous Wayuu and Afro-Colombian communities. The reports and articles in this book, written by various Colombians, North Americans and Europeans familiar with the issue, document this process and the human rights and environmental consequences.

Crude Interventions The United States, Oil and the New World (Dis)Order
av Leech, Garry. Cloth. Zed Bks., London, UK, 2006 (ISBN 1842776282). At the beginning of the 21st Century, a new world disorder is emerging in which battles over resources are playing an increasingly prominent role. The importance of oil to this picture is underscored by the unilateral and militaristic foreign policy of the world’s largest power in its attempt to secure access to this critical resource. In this global context, oil-rich communities of the South are being drawn into struggles to defend their sovereignty, cultural integrity, human rights and threatened ecosystems. By focusing on the US role in Iraq, Central Asia, West Africa, Colombia and Venezuela, Crude Interventions makes evident the connections between energy interests, the war on terror, globalization, human rights abuses and other social injustices endured by those peoples of the South cursed with an abundance of the world’s most sought after resource.

Killing Peace: Colombia's Conflict and the Failure of U.S. Intervention
Garry Leech, Information Network of the Americas, 2002, 097203840X Over the past half-century, Colombia has been plagued by violence—its people caught in the middle of a civil conflict raging between the army, leftist guerrillas, right-wing paramilitaries, narco-traffickers, and U.S. anti-drug warriors. Killing Peace: Colombia's Conflict and the Failure of U.S. Intervention provides a timely and much-needed overview of the war that is ravaging Colombia including its root causes in the country's gross social and economic inequalities. Drawing from on-the-ground reporting as well as historical sources, Killing Peace addresses all aspects of the Colombian conflict, particularly the dangerous and expanding involvement of the United States as part of its drug war—and now the "war on terror."

The Profits of Extermination: How U.S. Corporate Power is Destroying Colombia
by Francisco Ramirez Cuellar, Aviva Chomsky (Translation), Forward by Javier Giraldo The Profits of Extermination uncovers the costs of foreign investment, privatization and neo-liberalism in Colombia. US corporations have manipulated the law and worked hand in hand with right-wing death squads and the US government to ensure profits at the cost of the rights and lives of workers, peasants and miners. According to this study, both US military aid and human rights violations are disproportionately concentrated in Colombia's lucrative mining and energy zones, where large foreign corporations use military and paramilitary forces to secure their investments.

He is a visiting scholar at Stanford University. He is the author of Loyal Soldiers in the Cocaine Kingdom: Tales of Drugs, Mules, and Gunmen.
Here in their own words are the stories of the desterrados, or "dispossessed"-the thousands of Colombians displaced by years of war and state-backed terrorism, funded in part through US aid to the Colombian government.These gripping stories show the human face of those who suffer the effects of the US "Plan Colombia" and of a state that serves the interests of wealthy landlords instead of the poor.

The Palace of Justice: A Colombian Tragedy
by Ana Carrigan. Four Walls Eight Windows, 1993, ISBN=0941423824
The only published account in English of what occurred in November 1985 when the M19 guerrillas took the Colombian Supreme Court Justices hostages. Gathering data uncovered by independent investigators, particularly the morgue workers who risked their lives to uncover the gruesome truth, Carrigan shows that the Colombian Army effectively staged a coup by wiping out the independent judicary and firmly putting the Colombian President in a subsidiary position to the military.
