Territorios de la negridad en Colombia: De las expoliaciones, extrahecciones a las re-existencias en el valle del Patía

Abstract

This article analyzes the processes of looting and extraheccion in the Patia Valley from 1960 to 2017. It reflexes on the ways in which re-existences are distilled in space. Likewise, I argue that the processes of robbery of black people were caused by dynamics of accumulation of land tenure, linked to the extrahecciones that were the result of illegal mining. In addition, the text conceptualizes the re-existences mobilized through matrices of subjectivity and other territorialities. Interviews, maps, and land tenure censuses complement this study. Finally, I argue that these processes configure ways of appropriating the Patia valley through power relations and ways of knowing and making territory.
