Reviews for Gaitanismo, Left Liberalism, and Popular Mobilization in Colombia
"The breadth of Green's research and the originality of his ideas are truly impressive. In addition to the whole phenomenon of Gaitanismo, one can learn an enormous amount about the interworking of Colombian politics and especially the role played by gamonales and fraud in local and national elections." - Jane Rausch, University of Massachusetts, Amherst
