MARTIN, Gerard. Violence and Memory in Medellin. Historelo.rev.hist.reg.local [online]. 2019, vol.11, n.22, pp.340-368.  Epub 26-Jul-2019. ISSN 2145-132X.  https://doi.org/10.15446/historelo.v11n22.78131.

This essay reflects on the opportunity and potential ways to enlarge historic memory studies of the victims of the armed conflict in Medellin, through research about victims of other forms of violence, in particular of cocaine trafficking based organized crime and its mafia-like networks. The author argues that without including these other victims in historic memory research, it will be imposible to comprehend Medellin's tragedy in a comprehensive way. The author suggests various approaches to further the task of visualizing the voices of these other victims.

Palavras-chave : Colombia; Medellin; historic memory; victims; violence; drug trafficking.
