Colombia: 'Black Book' challenges M-19 heroic narrative, urges historical reckoning

A Colombian publication, 'The Black Book of the M-19,' counters the heroic legend of the M-19 guerrilla group promoted by President Petro's narrative. The piece argues that remembrance is essential to prevent repetition, targeting a younger generation that may only know the group's glorified version. This signals a political contest over historical memory in Colombia, potentially affecting domestic political dynamics.
