VANEGAS-USECHE, ISIDRO. The dagger at the throat of the oppressor. Intellectuals and political violence in Colombia today. Hist. Caribe [online]. 2022, vol.17, n.40, pp.251-280. Epub 27-Out-2022. ISSN 0122-8803. https://doi.org/10.15648/hc.40.2022.3208.
This article rebuilds the place that a group of Colombian intellectuals, who could be called progressives, gave to violence the meaning of a political action instrument, between 1985 and the present time. It confirms how, among that group, the apologists for violence as a creative agent of a new order decreased. However, it also presents how that attitude did not lead to an absolute rejection of violence, since it gave grounds as a guarantor of some essential changes, which that were supposedly not possible through the usual channels.
