" 'Cultural Heritage Management and Indigenous People in the North of Colombia' explores indigenous people's struggle for territorial autonomy in an aggressive political environment and the tensions between heritage tourism and Indigenous rights. South American cases where local communities, especially indigenous groups, are opposed to infrastructure projects, are little known. This book lays out the results of more than a decade of research in which the resettlement of a pre-Columbian village has been documented. It highlights the difficulty of establishing the link between archaeological sites and objects, and Indigenous people due to legal restrictions. From a decolonial framework, the archaeology of Pueblito Chairama (Teykú) is explored, and the village stands as a model to understand the broader picture of the relationship between Indigenous people and political and economic forces in South America. The book will be of interest to researchers in Archaeology, Anthropology, Heritage and Indigenous Studies who wish to understand the particularities of South American repatriation cases and Indigenous archaeology in the region"-- Provided by publisher.

"L'histoire des relations culturelles entre la France et la Colombie est longue de plus de deux siècles. Entre 1930 et 1970, dans un contexte de suprématie nord-américaine et malgré un affaiblissement certain, la France est demeurée un "allié culturel" majeur de la Colombie. En 1968,1e "Plan d'action culturel" synthétise ainsi l'action française sous l'égide de l'amitié franco-colombienne, incarnée par le voyage du Général de Gaulle. Une Colombie aux multiples facettes se révèle au prisme de cette relation profonde, riche, discrète, complexe : une Colombie bien loin du seul triptyque de stéréotypes drogue, violence, conflit armé. Un livre important pour comprendre aussi bien les représentations de la Colombie et sa géopolitique que la politique culturelle de la France en Amérique latine au XXe siècle."--Page 4 of cover.

This book offers a new anthropological understanding of the socio-cosmological and ontological characteristics of the Isthmo-Colombian Area, beyond established theories for Amazonia, the Andes and Mesoamerica. It focuses on a core region that has been largely neglected by comparative anthropology in recent decades. Centering on relations between Chibchan groups and their neighbors, the contributions consider prevailing socio-cosmological principles and their relationship to Amazonian animism and Mesoamerican and Andean analogism. Classical notions of area homogeneity are reconsidered and the book formulates an overarching proposal for how to make sense of the heterogeneity of the region's indigenous groups. Drawing on original fieldwork and comparative analysis, the volume provides a valuable anthropological addition to archaeological and linguistic knowledge of the Isthmo Colombian Area.

Even to experts, Colombia is one of the most confusing countries in the Americas. Its democratic tradition is among the richest and most long-standing in the hemisphere, with only eleven years of military rule during its 200 some years of independence. Except for the United States and Canada, Colombia has had the highest growth rate in the Americas over the last 75 years. It is widely seen as having some of the continent's best universities and deep intellectual traditions along with a dazzling array of fine and industrial arts and now globally-popular tropical music. But despite these admirable achievements, Colombia has also experienced what its Nobel laureate Gabriel Garcia Marquez once called "a biblical holocaust" of human savagery. Along with the scourge of politically-motivated assassinations (averaging 30 per day in the 1990s) have been drug-related massacres, widespread disappearances, rapes and kidnappings, and even the signature defilement of murder victims. The relentless dynamics of the illegal drug industry raises a puzzling question: how did Colombia capture and control that enormously-lucrative industry and then leverage its status as America's No. 1 drug supplier into a $7 billion military partnership with the world's superpower? The answer to that question is something everyone needs to know. To unravel the enigma, Richard D. Mahoney links historical legacies with key periods in the post-World War II era and then sets forth overarching cultural features-land violence, the Church, race, the Spanish language, and magical culture-that run through Colombia's history, distinguish its national experience, and fuel its unquenchable creativity.

In The Frontier Effect, Teo Ballve challenges the notion that in Uraba, Colombia, the cause of the region's violent history and unruly contemporary condition is the absence of the state. Although he takes this locally oft-repeated claim seriously, he demonstrates that Uraba is more than a case of Hobbesian political disorder. Through his insightful exploration of war, paramilitary organizations, grassroots support and resistance, and drug-related violence, Ballve argues that Uraba, rather than existing in statelessness, has actually been an intense and persistent site of state-building projects. Indeed, these projects have thrust together an unlikely gathering of guerilla groups, drug-trafficking paramilitaries, military strategists, technocratic planners, local politicians, and development experts each seeking to give concrete coherence to the inherently unwieldy abstraction of "the state" in a space in which it supposedly does not exist. By untangling this odd mix, Ballve reveals how Colombia's violent conflicts have produced surprisingly coherent and resilient, if not at all benevolent, regimes of rule.

"The award winning writer, photographer, filmmaker, and ethnographer--a longtime Explorer-in-Residence at the National Geographic Society--recounts an enthralling journey down Colombia's Magdalena River that illuminates the country's rebirth after decades of political violence, drug cartels, and guerrilla warfare"-- Provided by publisher

A captivating new book from Wade Davis - winner of the Samuel Johnson Prize for Into the Silence - that brings vividly to life the story of the great Rio Magdalena, illuminating Colombia's complex past, present, and future. Travellers often become enchanted with the first country that captures their hearts and gives them license to be free. For Wade Davis, it was Colombia. Now in a masterful new book, the bestselling author tells of his travels on the mighty Magdalena, the river that made possible the nation. Along the way, he finds a people who have overcome years of conflict precisely because of their character, informed by an enduring spirit of place, and a deep love of a land that is home to the greatest ecological and geographical diversity on the planet. Only in Colombia can a traveller wash ashore in a coastal desert, follow waterways through wetlands as wide as the sky, ascend narrow tracks through dense tropical forests, and reach verdant Andean valleys rising to soaring ice-clad summits. This wild and impossible geography finds its perfect coefficient in the topography of the Colombian spirit: restive, potent, at times placid and calm, in moments tortured and twisted. Both a corridor of commerce and a fountain of culture, the wellspring of Colombian music, literature, poetry and prayer, the Magdalena has served in dark times as the graveyard of the nation. And yet, always, it returns as a river of life. At once an absorbing adventure and an inspiring tale of hope and redemption, Magdalena gives us a rare, kaleidoscopic picture of a nation on the verge of a new period of peace. Braiding together memoir, history, and journalism, Wade Davis tells the story of the country's most magnificent river, and in doing so, tells the epic story of Colombia.

"La Historia que en Colombia se escribió hasta poco después de la primera mitad del siglo xx giraba en torno a individualidades que jugaron un papel notable en los acontecimientos narrados. Después de este período, emergió una Historia que pretendió investigar y destacar los procesos de naturaleza social, económica, cultural, etc., dentro de los cuales las individualidades notables estaban actuando, y cómo y qué tanto contribuyeron estas individualidades a labrar la Historia narrada. Antioquia antigua es una Historia de procesos sin individualidades notables. Es una Historia de pueblos que, determinados por la naturaleza, procuraron someterla para sobrevivir, y lo consiguieron, pero solo temporalmente. Cada período en el control de esta, al cabo de siglos de expansión y progreso, declinaba, porque los ecosistemas originarios de montañas lluviosas y de selvas cerradas se agotaban, luego de siglos de sustentar las estrategias de aprovechamiento; y este hecho obligaba a innovar. Como es apenas entendible, las estrategias que emergían de la innovación comportaban profundas transformaciones culturales. En los quince últimos siglos hasta la llegada de los españoles, con el hallazgo y la manufactura del oro, los pueblos de Antioquia Central, crecientemente, dejaron de depender de la naturaleza saqueada y esquilmada durante nueve milenios y se adentraron en el comercio y las actividades artesanales para conseguir de vuelta los avituallamientos esenciales. Esta solución a la encrucijada que les planteaban sus territorios empobrecidos y sabanizados, terminó por moldear el carácter de los pobladores, en adelante mineros, artesanos, y comerciantes en territorios lejanos."--Page 4 of cover

"The buildings recognized as assets of cultural interest that have been selected to be part of this book make sense as structuring elements within the historical construction of the environment and the city of Bogotá. These buildings are not only part of the different urban fragments but who, in many cases, were promoters of the development of their areas, outstanding landmarks of the urban form, cultural or social references for citizens or outstanding examples for the architectural history of the city. " (HKB Translation taken from the introduction by Sheril Natalia Salazar Bayona)

"This book analyzes the relationship between Colombian paramilitaries and the State in the period 1982-2007. Despite the attention that the paramilitaries demand, due to both the magnitude of their crimes and their specificities, understanding the nature of this interaction has proven to be complex. They were not a homogeneous, hierarchical force, but a protean network of highly localistic coalitions and units. Based on new and extensive empirical evidence, the book shows that even in diverse circumstances there was a set of basic mechanisms that established a link between the State and paramilitary factions, which influenced the trajectory of the latter. These mechanisms, in turn, were permanently mediated by political institutions and the highly clientelistic Colombian polity. Therefore, without a close reading of the Colombian clientelistic politics and statehood, it is not possible to understand the interaction between the two entities."--Provided by publisher.

"La renaissance est un art colombien. Ces jours-ci, les quartiers touristiques de Bogota, les remparts de Carthagène et même les contreforts de Medellin ont cessé d'être des zones dangereuses. La Colombie semble, du moins vue de l'extérieur, en passe de se réconcilier avec elle-même. L'actualité n'y est plus, chaque jour, scandée par les "narcos", les prises d'otages et les méfaits des paramilitaires. La jungle s'est refermée sur les guérilleros. La paix tente de survivre dans ce climat de méfiance absolue engendré par tant d'années de guerre. Ce petit livre n'est pas un guide. Il a pour but de décoder pour vous ce pays de mélodies, de tragédies et d'épopées si bien conté par Gabriel Garcia Marquez, sa jungle amazonienne impénétrable, son héritage si lourd à porter depuis sa découverte par les conquistadors et sa passion révolutionnaire instillée par Simon Bolivar.

This book examines the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) as a commercial insurgency through the network-complex paradigm of insurgency. Countering traditional perspectives of the group, it proposes new and comprehensive explanations for the FARC's presence in Latin America. Existing narratives have portrayed the FARC as a terrorist, narco-terrorist, or criminal organization - a narrative popularized by the government offensive conducted by the Colombian state during the last couple of decades. In contrast, this book goes beyond simplistic perspectives of the FARC and instead studies the group in relation to the network-complex paradigm of insurgency. It explains the organization as a `commercial insurgency' with three dimensions - political, criminal, and military - and understands the Colombian insurgency not as a monolith, but as a system of individuals with diversified interests ranging from the highly indoctrinated to the profit-motivated. This examination allows for an analysis of some of the insurgency's most unexplored characteristics: an interest in urbanizing its actions and the increased `invisibility' of combatants, the significance of its political institutions, and the construction of its transnational networks. The volume also discusses the future of FARC in post-conflict Colombia, not only within the country but as an actor in the region. This work will be of much interest to students of insurgencies, military studies, Latin American studies, criminology, security studies, and IR.
