Colombians simply call it la violencia, the only way to describe the sense less slaughter and banditry waged by hate-filled peasants who long ago forgot what they were fighting about. Now, at long last, there are encouraging signs that Colombia's government is gaining the upper hand and beginning to pacify the remote badlands...

For years the Tutsi refused to share any power or to intermarry with the Hutu in Rwanda, while their fellow tribesmen in Burundi followed a more flexible policy.

But West raged at chaos, and rage can be read as hate, which is a suitable cult emotion. Wallant's transcendent gift was for compassion, and in his writing compassion is so clear and so strong that no willful misreading can blur it to the cult-currency of hate or despair...
