Fields of Fire: Emancipation and Resistance in Colombia is a book that explores the concept of the emancipatory network as a coordination of loose, discrete, and differentiated actors to explain how activists successfully practice high-risk activism. It challenges previous studies on high-risk activism that come to contradictory conclusions, arguing that networks rather than individual characteristics are associated with mobilization. The book features unique ethnographic material of a Colombian sugarcane worker strike, interviews with workers and human rights activists in Valle del Cauca and Bogotá, and reveals different forms of knowledge that activists bring to a social movement. Esparza argues that the combination of these different forms of knowledge bolsters the movements resiliency in the face of repression.
