Cauca's Indigenous Movement in Southwestern Colombia
Cauca's Indigenous Movement in Southwestern Colombia: Land, Violence, and Ethnic Identity provides a vivid account of how the indigenous communities of Cauca in southwestern Colombia engaged with the Colombian central state. Troyan begins with the question of how 3.4 percent of the Colombian population obtained legal rights to close to a quarter of the national territory. Her in-depth study of the correspondence between the central state and indigenous communities of Cauca reveals that the nation state played a key role in the legitimization of land claims based on ethnic identity. Starting with the indigenous movement led by Manuel Quintín Lame in 1914, this book shows how, in contrast to ...
El ser anfibio. Imaginarios acuáticos en el Sinú
El presente trabajo tiene como propósito mostrar cómo el imaginario mítico sagrado de la cultura Sinú, basado en los ecosistemas acuáticos, está presente en su arte narrativo y metalúrgico. Esta relación se evidencia a partir de la orfebrería inspirada en la fauna acuática y anfibia. Sus caminos siguen abriéndose en la tradición oral como filosofía popular y las formas de vida de las comunidades, tanto indígenas como mestizas, que actualmente habitan la región del Caribe Colombiano conocida como Depresión Momposina. Para dicho propósito abordamos la transformación en el ser anfibio como mi tema central de las tradiciones narrativas relativas a los encantos acuáticos y los textos de simbología chamánica presentes en la orfebrería Sinú.
Imaginarios sociales en los textos escolares de lengua castellana
Este libro ofrece un recorrido por las geografías invisibles, con lógicas, cánones, concepciones e imaginarios, por una parte, y acciones discursivas e iconográficas, por otra. Se partió del hecho de que el texto escolar es un elemento esencial que implica información de un área o disciplina, en un contexto y época determinada. En este marco, los textos escolares dejan de ser un problema estrictamente educativo para convertirse en uno sociopolítico, puesto que el fin de la educación es formar para el conocimiento dentro de una convivencia.

Juan Gregorio Palechor
The Colombian activist Juan Gregorio Palechor (1923–1992) dedicated his life to championing indigenous rights in Cauca, a department in the southwest of Colombia, where he helped found the Regional Indigenous Council of Cauca. Recounting his life story in collaboration with the Colombian anthropologist Myriam Jimeno, Palechor traces his political awakening, his experiences in national politics, the disillusionment that resulted, and his turn to a more radical activism aimed at confronting ethnic discrimination and fighting for indigenous territorial and political sovereignty. Palechor's lively memoir is complemented by Jimeno's reflections on autobiography as an anthropological tool and on the oppressive social and political conditions faced by Colombia's indigenous peoples. A faithful and fluent transcription of Palechor's life story, this work is a uniquely valuable resource for understanding the contemporary indigenous rights movements in Colombia.
Demanding Justice and Security
Across Latin America, indigenous women are organizing to challenge racial, gender, and class discrimination through the courts. Collectively, by engaging with various forms of law, they are forging new definitions of what justice and security mean within their own contexts and struggles. They have challenged racism and the exclusion of indigenous people in national reforms, but also have challenged ‘bad customs’ and gender ideologies that exclude women within their own communities. Featuring chapters on Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala, and Mexico, the contributors to Demanding Justice and Security include both leading researchers and community activists. From Kichwa women in Ecuador lobbying for the inclusion of specific clauses in the national constitution that guarantee their rights to equality and protection within indigenous community law, to Me’phaa women from Guerrero, Mexico, battling to secure justice within the Inter-American Court of Human Rights for violations committed in the context of militarizing their home state, this book is a must-have for anyone who wants to understand the struggle of indigenous women in Latin America.
Non-literary Fiction
"Non-literary Fiction examines contemporary art produced in Latin America in reaction to the growing tide of neoliberalism with its purging of specific social, ethnic, and racial meanings. Over decades, military juntas throughout South and Central America (often supported by the US) have brutally restricted freedom of movement and speech and caused whole segments of their populations to "disappear." Gabara shows how many Latin American artists since the late 1950s have strategically positioned their art as "fictions" in response to the social death and unspeakable violence that undergirds their experience. By "fictions," Gabara means a kind of art that encourages a beholder or participant to...
Colección del cuento corto colombiano
La Colección del Cuento corto colombiano, con 180 minicuentos del mismo número de autores, ratifica la consolidación de este género que, en la penúltima década del siglo XX, los fundadores de Ekuáreo, revista de minicuentos, vislumbraron para la literatura colombiana. Desde entonces, la escritura del cuento corto en Colombia ha crecido con un gran entusiasmo y ha logrado un reconocimiento a nivel mundial. Así lo muestran las innumerables Antologías y traducciones en las que autores colombianos son incluidos por la eficacia e imaginación con la que logran abordar este género literario. La Colección del Cuento corto colombiano continúa la difusión de cuatro libros que la preceden, donde aparecen autores ya clásicos y un gran número de jóvenes escritores que impulsan, con temas y propuestas nuevas, el desarrollo del minicuento. Los autores, escritores y antologistas del presente libro, son reconocidos como los pioneros que impulsaron y le dieron una base teórica y creativa al cuento corto colombiano.
