This book draws on participatory ethnographic research to understand how rural Colombian women work to dismantle the coloniality of power. It critically examines the ways in which colonial feminisms have homogenized the "category of woman,” ignoring the intersecting relationship of class, race, and gender, thereby excluding the voices of “subaltern women” and upholding existing power structures. Supplementing that analysis are testimonials from rural Colombian women who speak about their struggles for sovereignty and against territorial, sexual, and racialized violence enacted upon their land and their bodies. By documenting the stories of rural women and centering their voices, this book seeks to dismantle the coloniality of power and gender, and narrate and imagine decolonial feminist worlds. Scholars in gender studies, rural studies, and post-colonial studies will find this work of interest.
This Handbook integrates innovative, interdisciplinary approaches to the production of Iberian imperial borderlands in the Americas, from southwestern U.S. to Patagonia, and their connections to trade and migratory circuits extending to Asia and Africa. In this volume borderlands comprise political boundaries, spaces of ethnic and cultural exchange, and ecological transitions.
Long before the Spanish colonizers established it in 1598, the “Kingdom of Nuevo México” had existed as an imaginary world—and not the one based on European medieval legend so often said to have driven the Spaniards’ ambitions in the New World. What the conquistadors sought in the 1500s, it seems, was what the native Mesoamerican Indians who took part in north-going conquest expeditions also sought: a return to the Aztecs’ mythic land of origin, Aztlan. Employing long-overlooked historical and anthropological evidence, Danna A. Levin Rojo reveals how ideas these natives held about their own past helped determine where Spanish explorers would go and what they would conquer in the n...

Este libro presenta los resultados de una investigación sobre el rol que puede jugar el turismo en materia de reducción de la pobreza, promoviendo al mismo tiempo el desarrollo sostenible, con énfasis en el caso colombiano. El crecimiento del turismo implica una generación cada vez más importante de ingresos, sin embargo lo anterior no significa que estos ingresos adicionales tengan la capacidad de reducir la pobreza y mejorar las condiciones de vida de la población receptora. En este sentido, la capacidad del turismo para reducir la pobreza no será la misma, dependiendo de cuándo, dónde y cómo esta actividad se desarrolle, pues no se trata solo de generar recursos mediante la actividad turística y ejecutar mecanismos y condiciones para que los ingresos tengan un impacto sobre la reducción de la pobreza. También es necesario desarrollar la actividad turística sin dejar de lado la preservación del medioambiente y los recursos patrimoniales materiales e inmateriales disponibles en el territorio.
