- Abstract
"When Forests Run Amok: War and Its Afterlives in Indigenous and Afro-Colombian Territories" is a book written by Daniel Ruiz Serna that explores the impact of war on the Lower Atrato River region in Colombia. The book focuses on the more-than-human elements of the region, including rivers, creatures, and spirits, and examines the ruination of forests and the ongoing effects of the war. The author's deep knowledge and respect for the region are evident throughout the book, which also includes photographs taken by the author. The book raises important questions about transitional justice and calls for a legal recognition of non-human entities. While the book's more-than-human perspective is anthropocentric, it provides valuable insights for scholars and practitioners interested in justice and the impact of war on communities.
