COURTHEYN, Christopher. De-indigenized but not Defeated: Race and Resistance in Colombia's Comunidad de Paz and Universidad Campesina. Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2020, vol.56, n.1, pp.143-165. ISSN 0486-6525.  https://doi.org/10.22380/2539472x.1047.

Integrating scholarship on race as a global structure and Latin American racial formations, I offer an account of racialization in Colombia. This article analyzes the racial dynamics of resistance to ex-tractivism in Colombia's Universidad Campesina, uniting Indigenous and campesino groups like the Comunidad de Paz de San José de Apartadó. While the dominant race lexicon separates 'campesinos' from 'Indigenous' and 'Black' groups, I argue that the identifier campesino mestizo hides how San José's farmers were 'de-indigenized' yet remain racialized. If racialization works to dominate but also divide the subaltern, then Universidad Campesina participants' cross-ethnic solidarity network both unveils and counters racism.

Palabras clave : race; mestizaje; multiculturalism; social movements.
