The
Profits of Extermination
How U.S. Corporate Power is Destroying Colombia
by Francisco Ramirez Cuellar/Introduction by Aviva Chomsky
Published to acclaim--and death threats against its author and bombings
of his union's offices in Colombia, The Profits of Extermination
uncovers the role of multinational mining and energy companies in Colombia's
violence. Through legal maneuvers, corruption, and direct use of paramilitary
violence, foreign companies have taken over Colombia's resources, displacing
and murdering those who have challenged them.
