Abstract
LEON ARAYA, Andrés. Domesticating Dispossession: African Palm, Land Grabbing and Gender in the Bajo Aguán, Honduras. Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2017, vol.53, n.1, pp.151-185. ISSN 0486-6525.
From the perspective of a peasant family, this article explores the agrarian counter reform that took place in Honduras in the early 1990s, as a process of primitive accumulation. Specifically, it attempts to recuperate the shared experience of many peasant women through an ethnographic and gendered perspective, which sheds some lights on how dispossession, defined as a permanent and constitutive process of capitalism, operates.
Keywords : dispossession; primitive accumulation; agrarian reform; gender; Honduras.
