Description

This book provides a socio-historical analysis of the 2002 massacre at Bellavista-Bojayá-Chocó, Colombia. The creator examines how the concepts of forced displacement and migration might be formulas for historical erasure. These concepts are used to name populations, such as the survivors of this massacre, and are limited of their ability to give a contribution to the demands for reparation of the affected populations. As a substitute, in line with an ethnographic study of the pain and suffering generated within the survivors, the book proposes the idea that of deracination as a tool to study land dispossession. It captures both the complex local specificities, the global linkages of this phenomenon and the strategies of resistance utilized by the people of this community to channel what seems as an unattainable mourning.
