Vida campesina
Si bien esta publicación explora los conocimientos y manifestaciones asociados a la cotidianidad de la vida campesina, centra su mirada en la fortaleza organizativa de quienes habitan el páramo. El campesinado de Sumapaz reconoce, mediante sus propios relatos, la fuerza de las huellas que han dejado la violencia y la estigmatización ideológica a causa del conflicto por la tenencia de la tierra en el país a lo largo del siglo XX e inicios del XXI. También reconoce que esta historia, que atraviesa sus formas de relacionarse, habitar y manifestarse, es quizás el núcleo que ha dado impulso a unas formas y procesos organizativos particulares. Y en este eje es donde se encuentra el patrimonio que vive y nutre la vida de campesinas y campesinos del Sumapaz.

Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou.

Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.

The book is meant to enrich, not repeat, the work of existing texts on this period, and its focus on people makes it stand out from other books that have concentrated on the political and economic aspects of the culture.

Rethinking Colonial Pasts Through Archaeology
This work explores the archaeologies of daily living left by the indigenous and other displaced peoples impacted by European colonial expansion over the last 600 years. Case studies from North America, Australia, Africa, the Caribbean, and Ireland significantly revise conventional historical narratives of those interactions, their presumed impacts, and their ongoing relevance for the material, social, economic, and political lives and identities of contemporary indigenous and other peoples.
