MORENO SANDOVAL, Armando. Social Banditry. The Case of Northen Tolima (Colombia). Historelo.rev.hist.reg.local [online]. 2012, vol.4, n.7, pp.271-309. ISSN 2145-132X.

This paper is about retaking an approach made by the English historian Eric Hobsbawm, in the sense of reworking social bandit's typology. According to him, in order to rework it, many more case studies were needed. Based on some of them, this paper focuses on accounting for the debate generated by Hobsbwm banditry's model since mid-20^th century. First, I account for the way his disciples and critics have interpreted his model, mainly that of the social bandit. A second aspect deals with some cases of Mediterranean banditry, especially the Catalan, the Italic and the one that took place in Maghreb. Finally, I account for a particular case of social banditry in Tolima, Colombia: the one of "Palomo Aguirre".
