Abstract

RODRIGUEZ, STELLA. FIXED FRONTIERS, EXCHANGE VALUE AND ILLICIT CROPS IN THE COLOMBIAN PACIFIC COAST. Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2008, vol.44, n.1, pp.41-70. ISSN 0486-6525.

The article focuses on the changes in the relationship between indigenous Eperara-Siapidara and Afrocolombian communities from the Saija River in the rural Timbiqui municipality (Cauca, Colombia ), due to the accentuation of ethnic differences in the process of collective land titling process. It argues that the titling process brought some contradictions and a "hardening" of ethnic frontiers but did not in itself constitute a motive of conflict. As a result, other factors associated with the arrival of illicit crops are analyzed.

Keywords : Interethnic relations; collective land titling; Colombian Pacific coast; territorial conflicts.
