Exchanges of peoples, texts and ideologies between Asia, Africa Eastern Europe and Latin America were intense during the Cold War. Artists, journalists, intellectuals, and military officers moved between the shores of the Pacific Ocean after World War II. They rejected or supported the spread of communism. Many of them embraced the cause of the "Free world", but others promoted the international peace mouvement or the organization of non-aligned countries. The transmission of political propaganda or insurgent and counter-insugent experiences and methods occupied a particular place, which deeply marked the historical experience of Colombia and Peru in the second half of the 20th Century.
