Descripción
Sumario:In Colombia, La Violencia was a period of aggravated crime that occurred during the 20th century, particularly between the 1940s and 1950s. This article analyses the Colombian leftist leaders from the end of the 20th century to the beginning of the 21st century by studying the characteristics of the country’s elite; furthermore, it also analyses the phase beginning from La Violencia in the 1940s to the peace process with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia and the reconciliation with the National Liberation Army guerrilla. The methodology of the study involved a series of interviews followed by their respective bibliographic tracking, which results in similarities with other elites and differences in wealth redistribution, social mobility and circulation of elites.
