El caminante Alfredo Molano

Abstract

This is the portrait of a traveler who journeyed through forests and mountains, wide rivers, and plains to create a saga of the tribulations of colonized peasants threatened with displacement and violence. This is the portrait of a sociologist with an inimitable style of writing life stories that owes as much to the social sciences as it does to literature. This is the portrait of an intellectual who was the victim of censorship and abuses of power that sent him into exile. This is the portrait of the life of a defender of peace and human rights in Colombia, a country that resists abandoning its endless war.
