Victimhood, Memory, and Consumerism : Profiting from Pablo

Victimhood, Memory, and Consumerism documents the story of the drug violence in Medellín in the 1980s and 1990s and critically examines the position of its victims. Drawing on unique empirical material, the book addresses the consequences of commercial exploitation of Medellín's violent past for its victims and for the nature of the city today.
