    Colombia's economic transformation has been a complex and dynamic process shaped by historical events, political decisions, and global economic trends. From its early indigenous trade systems to its current standing as one of Latin America's largest economies, Colombia's journey has been marked by periods of growth, crisis, and resilience. Understanding this transformation requires a deep dive into the key factors that have influenced its economy over the centuries. 
    The foundation of Colombia's economy was laid long before Spanish colonization. Indigenous communities engaged in agriculture, trade, and resource management, establishing early economic structures. However, the arrival of the Spanish in the early 16th century drastically altered the economic landscape. The Spanish introduced a mercantilist system that prioritized resource extraction, particularly gold, and forced indigenous labor into exploitative economic activities. This period also saw the beginnings of agricultural exports, as crops like sugar and tobacco became integral to the colonial economy. 
    Following independence in 1810, Colombia faced significant economic instability. The transition from colonial rule to a sovereign state disrupted established trade networks and led to political fragmentation. Wars of independence had devastated infrastructure and financial systems, leaving the new republic struggling to establish a stable economy. The 19th century saw slow economic progress, with regional economies developing independently and a reliance on agriculture persisting. Coffee emerged as Colombia's most valuable export by the late 19th century, setting the stage for greater economic integration and growth.

    A memoir about exploitation, the search for justice and how we fail to keep our children safe. 
     
    'The first thing I need to know,' I said to the detective, 'is has a crime been committed?' 
     
    Sonia Orchard was in her forties when she told a therapist about the boyfriend she had when she was fifteen. Sure, he had been a decade older than her, but it was consensual ... wasn't it? To her surprise, Sonia broke down in tears, then began to shake uncontrollably – an unmistakable expression of trauma that lasted for days. She was clearly not okay, but could the relationship she'd thought was love really have been abuse? Had she been groomed? 
     
    Years later, her own daughters now teenagers and the March4Justice changing the conversation about sexual assault, Sonia tentatively called the police. As she began the gruelling journey through the legal system, she saw how allegations of child abuse and sexual assault were routinely minimised, justified and rarely brought to light. Facing her own court case, she couldn't shake bigger questions: how had we allowed this to happen, and what would it take to fix it? 
     
    In Groomed, Orchard shifts between memoir and research in an attempt to answer these questions. She delves into culture, neuroscience and evolution, unpicking the enduring narratives that fuel these issues. As she navigates her way through a legal system stacked against victims of sexual assault, the obstacles to justice become clearer and more confronting than ever. 
     
    Shocking, compelling and completely absorbing, this is an essential read from a fearless Australian writer.
