La existencia por décadas del conflicto social, político y armado en nuestro país encuentra su explicación en un orden económico injusto, hoy por hoy el tercero más desigual del mundo; un sistema democrático en lo formal, claramente restringido, donde por diferentes formas se busca invisibilizar y anular cualquier posibilidad de alternativas políticas y donde se le da un tratamiento contrainsurgente a la protesta social. Hablar de alcanzar la paz sin hablar de dichas realidades, como lo ha hecho el estado colombiano, es en realidad optar por el guerrerismo y la perpetuación del conflicto.

Invited paper to be presented to the “Encuentro Nacional de comunidades Campesinas, Afrodescendientes e Indigenas por la Tierra y la Paz de Colombia: El dialogo es la Ruta”, 12 al 15 de agosto 2011, Barrancabermeja – Colombia
Introduction:
We live in a time of great destruction and grand economic opportunities and Latin America is no exception. In the global context, the US Empire is engaged in destructive wars (Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Libya, Yemen, Somalia and Haiti). In contrast China, India, Brazil, Argentina and other “emerging economies” are expanding trade, investments and reducing poverty. The European Union (EU) and the United States (USA) are in deep economic crises. The EU “periphery” (Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain) are totally bankrupt. The US “dependencies” in North America (Mexico), Central America and the Caribbean are virtual narco-states plagued by mass poverty, astronomical crime rates and economic stagnation. The US dependencies are plundered by foreign multi-nationals, local oligarchs and corrupt politicians. CONTINUE LEYENDO (Continue reading) Colombia: Pillage, Promise and Peace

This past February, Lisa and Brandon traveled through Colombia building relationships with peoples movements who work with communities caught in the crossfire between the interests of multinational corporations, guerrillas, Colombian military, and paramilitaries. They were able to see how people in those communities were responding to global economic interests. Some communities have been massacred, displaced and/or bought out, while others, who have some sort of organization or collective consciousness have resisted and have worked to develop alternative structures that work in the interest of the people who live on as well as have ancestral claims to the land. Connecting with the organization Proceso de Comunidades Negras or Processes of Black Communities PCN, they were able spend time with Afro-Colombian communities and also connected with kids in communities devastated by violence and affected by the armed conflict through art, capoeira, and hip-hop.
