Blair Austin recommends
The Banana Wars (2024)
Alan Grostephan
"A searing account of the ongoing consequences of colonial power structures in Colombia. What strikes me about The Banana Wars is the keen, journalistic eye and the refusal to look away from the lives and power struggles of everyday people - guerillas, paramilitary soldiers, sex workers, plantation owners and their backers overseas - all of whom are trapped in a brutal system of exploitation and madness."
