"When Forests Run Amok is an ambitious work that challenges readers' understandings of culture, territories, and justice. . . . Recommended. Graduate students and faculty." - A. E. Leykam (Choice) "When Forests Run Amok is a provocative work that will no doubt spark animated discussion. Whether or not we, as readers, entirely follow Ruiz-Serna’s epistemological leap, his approach does provide for an exceptionally intimate, creative, and illuminating study of a place and conflict that have rightly been receiving a lot of scholarly attention." - Nancy P. Appelbaum (Ethnic and Racial Studies) "In the book When Forests Run Amok, author Daniel Ruiz-Serna skillfully weaves narratives that depict the scars inflicted by violent exchange between guerrilla and paramilitary forces within the Indigenous and Afro-Colombian territories of Bajo Atrato." - Ajayant Katoch (Cultural Politics)
