Urban poor perceptions of violence and exclusion in Colombia: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Urban poor perceptions of violence and exclusion in Colombia" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Despite sustained improvements in its social and economic indicators over the past several decades and its rich stock of natural and human resources, Colombia remains plagued by violence. The very high level of violence reflects a variety of factors, including the countrys simmering 50-year-old civil war, the increase in armed conflict, the rise in urban and rural crime, and drug cartel-linked violence. As the government struggles to reach peace agreements with guerilla and paramilitary groups, political violence and armed conflict have been the primary focuses of political analysts and civil society groups alike. The perceptions of violence by people living in poor communities have received much less attention. This report addresses the issue by providing the results of a participatory study of violence conducted in low-income urban communities in Colombia.

Societies in Crisis, Globalization and Violence

Societies in Crisis:
Concept and Scope
A society in crisis presents both a challenge and an opportunity. This is certainly the case in the context of Colombia, now in the fifth decade of its bitter civil war. The crisis in which Colombia finds itself today represents an integral challenge to the economy, the institutions, and the values of its society. At the same time, it provides an opportunity for changing structures that no longer work.
