JARAMILLO, PABLO. INDIGENOUS REPARATIONS AND THE TURN OF THE "MULTICULTURAL TURN" AT LA GUAJIRA, COLOMBIA. Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2011, vol.47, n.2, pp.151-171. ISSN 0486-6525.

Although violent victimizations of indigenous peoples in Colombia have remained constant over centuries, never before have the conditions of being "victims" and "vulnerable" had such an institutional place as in the last ten years. This paper analyzes the ways in which discourses on victimhood and vulnerability resulting from the armed conflict in La Guajira have affected the shaping of citizenship and ethnic subjectivities. Although multiculturalism retains a preeminent role, self-determination turns into forms of submission to the State in the process of visibilization and inclusion within the social policies aimed at the indigenous victims of the armed conflict. The paper is based on ethnographic fieldwork carried out with an organization of Wayúu women in Northern Colombia, between 2007 and 2008.

Palabras clave : multiculturalism; reparations; social policy; ethnicity; Wayuu.
