El período de la Violencia (1948-1963) es uno de los más complejos y convulsionados de la historia colombiana. En este trabajo hacemos un análisis local del municipio de Cajamarca (Tolima), uno de los más afectados por los homicidios selectivos y las masacres, que en un principio estuvieron mediados por la confrontación entre liberales y conservadores, pero que después se imbricaron con temas diversos como el ataque a comunidades protestantes, negocios por tierras y ajustes de cuentas personales.

For some analysts, post-industrial capitalist societies have pathological deficiencies which manifest themselves locally and further afield, in marginalisation and oppression of people and despoliation of the environment.
