Blood and Capital: The Paramilitarization of Colombia (review)
imately 2,000 postage stamp images in both JPEG format and in PowerPoint slides, available from the author for no charge (but with the request for a donation to American University's Latin American Studies program).

The celebration of the bicentennial of these patriotic struggles beginning in 2010 should result in comparisons of the stamps that recorded the heroes, the struggles, and the forms of commemoration of independence.
