Resumen
RAPPAPORT, Joanne. How Namuy Misag Was Written: The Research of Gregorio Hernández de Alba, John Howland Rowe, and Francisco Tumiñá Pillimué in Guambía, Colombia, 1946-1949. Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2024, vol.60, n.2, e2675. Epub 01-Mayo-2024. ISSN 0486-6525. https://doi.org/10.22380/2539472x.2675.
Gregorio Hernández de Alba’s personal archive contains an extensive body of ethnographic information concerning the Indigenous community of Guambía, which reveals that more than a field researcher, he was a manager of ethnographic information collected by others. Among them, the work of the North American anthropologist John Howland Rowe stands out, as well as that of his Indigenous informant, Francisco Tumiñá Pillimué. The article explores the extent to which Tumiñá’s personal knowledge and his own research contributed to the wealth of information in this ethnographic archive, and how Hernández de Alba used this information to write Nuestra gente (Namuy misag). It argues that more than a victim of ethnological appropriation by external agents, Tumiñá must be considered as a creator of knowledge.
