Dear naclistas,

Welcome to another Friday edition of the NACLA newsletter and this week's roundup of web articles on nacla.org. Below is our Photo of the Week, which is courtesy of Tania Camila Bonilla, a historian and anthropologust that has worked in the remote Colombian countryside since 2010 with groups of Indigenous women, women peasants, and Afro-Colombian women in the middle of the armed conflict between varios guerrillas, the army, the national police, and paramilitary groups. She can be contacted via Facebook under her name and via Instagram @tataniabonilla.
