Abstract
ABSTRACT This article provides an account of the destruction of the social fabric of Afro-descendant, indigenous, peasant, and mestizo rural communities in Colombia from the perspective of a human rights worker of the Interfaith Commission of Justice and Peace (JyP). The community resistance that led to revelation of truth of what happened to the world is discussed. A description of the JyP’s multifaceted model of accompaniment, the strategies for return developed and implemented by the displaced families and communities, the associated legal actions and decisions, and knowledge generated from these very significant experiences of resistance in Colombia are also discussed.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Poverty is the first refereed journal to recognize the inequalities in our social, political, and economic structures, presenting progressing strategies that expand society"s increasingly narrow notions of poverty and inequality. The journal"s broad understanding of poverty—more inclusive than the traditional view—keeps the focus on people"s need for education, employment, safe and affordable housing, nutrition, and adequate medical care, and on interventions that range from direct practice to community organization to social policy analysis. The journal"s articles will increase your knowledge and awareness of oppressive forces such as racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia that contribute to the maintenance of poverty and inequality.
