- Abstract
Agroindustry and extractivism have generated profound changes in the traditional economic practices in the Alto Cauca in Colombia, to the detriment of the socio-economic livelihood systems of the local Afro-descendent farmer population. Intense armed conflict and forced migration have accompanied the establishment of models of accumulation by dispossession. Utilizing a participatory research methodology, this article critically analyzes the dispute over access to and ownership of the land and environmental assets of the territory. Thus, it aims to foreground the perspective of the Afro-descendent communities and social organizations that have, since the colonial period and continuing to the present day, defended their peoples and territories through resistance.
