E382 Maria McFarland Sánchez-Moreno‘s book, “There Are No Dead Here: A Story of Murder and Denial in Colombia,” is a remarkable non-fiction work that chronicles three “ordinary” Colombians who took on the country’s new mafia, military, and political powers. Maria is Peruvian-American, and her childhood definitely shaped who she is today. She’s an activist and advocate for international human rights and drug policies, a lawyer, and acting deputy program director at Human Rights Watch. She’s the former executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance, and was instrumental in Oregon’s decriminalization of all drugs for personal use.
