Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Paperback. An on-the-ground description of Colombia's peace process as lived by the rural populations most affected by it. The Colombian village of Briceno might, at first glimpse, look like many communities in the rural Global South. Many of the people living there rely on small-scale farming, even as a newly constructed hydroelectric dam threatens traditional livelihoods. Yet after decades where Briceno suffered from a bloody conflict, the village has more recently become central to the nation's hopes for peace. In Governing the Excluded, sociologist Alex Diamond shares a closer look at Briceno and offers unique insight not only into the contemporary Colombian state but to how people across the Global South are struggling to maintain rural livelihoods amid economic dispossession. Governing the Excluded describes a landmark peace process between the Colombian government and the radical FARC guerrillas from the perspective of Colombian farmers, drawing links between economic transformation, drug economies, and armed conflict. Exclusion from global markets for traditional crops like coffee first pushed farmers to grow coca, the raw material for cocaine. This ushered in an era of violent conflict for control of the illicit economy, while farmers continued to be priced out of legal markets. In exchange for peace and state protection, farmers ultimately agreed to sacrifice profitable coca. But with its disappearance, they now find themselves dependent on the state: for machinery to maintain the roads they need to get legal harvests to market, municipal jobs that are the only decent work available, and for public resources to subsidize food crops with razor-thin profit margins. Ongoing economic struggles in the legal sector make the state's newfound authority tenuous, as some villagers replant coca, abandon the village for uncertain urban futures, or join a rearmed guerrilla group. Informed by deep ethnographic research and firsthand stories from Briceno residents, Governing the Excluded shows that when it comes to the forces driving dispossessionbe they international corporate megaprojects, global food prices, or national initiatives to replace coca cultivationstate authority goes only so far as its ability to sustain local livelihoods.
