SUMMARY:Meet the Author Adriana Ramírez: The Violence My Family's Colombian War
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, April 23\, 6:30pm\n\n\n\nTaller Puertorriqueño | 2600 N. 5th St\, Philadelphia\, PA 19133\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for Event\n\n\n\n\nFree Event\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us on Thursday\, April 23\, with author Adriana Ramírez to discuss her new book\, The Violence: My Family’s Colombian War. RSVP and pre-order the book below. \n\n\n\nA powerful chronicle of Colombia’s descent into decades of civil war through the lens of an intimate\, multi-generational tale of upheaval and betrayal. \n\n\n\nWhen presumed president-elect Jorge Eliécer Gaitán\, champion of the working class and harbinger of a new era of progressive social change\, is assassinated on the eve of Colombia’s 1948 presidential election\, the capital is plunged into bloodshed. So begins a singularly brutal period of Colombia’s history known simply as la violencia—a bloody civil war that spawned decades of turmoil and splintered the country into ever-shifting factions. \n\n\n\nThe Violence is an intimate history of this conflict—told not from the political center of the war but from the mountainous finca that Adriana E. Ramírez’s family tended to for generations\, and through the eyes of her formidable grandmother\, Esther. With startling lyricism\, Ramírez illuminates the specter of violence—from guerilla warfare to the brutalities found so often in romantic relationships to the spontaneous and senseless violence steeped into everyday Colombian life during this period—and the threat that it poses to a country\, and a family\, that is trying to stay whole. Gracefully braiding together macrohistory\, family history\, and personal narrative\, Adriana E. Ramírez traces these parallel stories of upheaval in a sweeping portrait of a country and family in flux.
