Anthropology in Colombia and the Dynamics of the Labor Market
Global Journal of Archaeology & Anthropology, 2019
This article succinctly exposes the history of anthropology in Colombia, emphasizing its relationship with different socio-political conjunctures, and culminates establishing the relationship of what to do about anthropology and the role of anthropologists with current needs and labor market demands in the country.
In this path-breaking book, Rappaport describes and analyzes the work of “intellectuals” that have during recent decades informed and shaped the indigenous movement in the province of Cauca (Colombia). Based on her fieldwork and involvement with the indigenous movement, she presents the book as the outcome of a dialogue that became “an intercultural exercise, in which I shared ideas originating in anthropological and cultural theory and, in turn, absorbed some of what drove their own agenda.” The book is particularly significant given the social and political conflicts that have shaped the fate of Colombia and foreclosed “utopian dreams.”

In this article, we analyze a crisis that resulted when a vehicular road was illegally cut through a corner of southern Colombia's San Agustín Archaeological Park, a UNESCO-designated World Heritage site, by a nearby reindigenizing Yanacona community and its neighboring campesino allies. In numerous meetings addressing the crisis, Yanacona leaders, performing on a transnational and cosmopolitan stage, have asserted and justified their position by creatively combining local and “authentic” discourses with significantly scaled-up heritage, developmentalist, and environmentalist ones. Yanacona articulate and adapt their ethnicity to an evolving global reification of diversity as well as fashion a symbolics of citizenship that critiques modernity but cannot be called “traditional.”[reindigenization, heritage, performativity, state–indigenous relations, politics of culture, cultural tourism, Colombia]

A final minor, but niggling point: the complete absence of maps is an oversight that might easily have been corrected.
