Agroindustria y extractivismo en el Alto Cauca. Impactos sobre los sistemas de subsistencia Afrocampesinos y resistencias (1950-2011)

Resumen

Agroindustry and extractivism have generated profound changes in the traditional economic\npractices in the Alto Cauca in Colombia, to the detriment of the socio-economic\nlivelihood systems of the local Afro-descendent farmer population. Intense armed conflict\nand forced migration have accompanied the establishment of models of accumulation\nby dispossession. Utilizing a participatory research methodology, this article critically\nanalyzes the dispute over access to and ownership of the land and environmental assets\nof the territory. Thus, it aims to foreground the perspective of the Afro-descendent\ncommunities and social organizations that have, since the colonial period and continuing\nto the present day, defended their peoples and territories through resistance.
