In his discussion he states, "The massacre of UFCO laborers is important because this infamous event forms part of the company's 'terrible reputation' (p.3): Colombian novelist Gabriel García Márquez tells the story in his novel One Hundred Years of Solitude, referring to three thousand deaths, a deliberate inflation of the number of victims to make the story more spectacular... The fact that García Márquez's imaginative work has had so much influence on scholars is, I think, in part the reason for the intellectual bias against UFCO that prevails in Latin America."
