LONDONO DIAZ, Wilhelm. Transitioning From White Nationality to Intercultural Society Landscapes: An Analysis of Monuments Knocked Down by Indigenous Social Movements. Tabula Rasa [online]. 2022, n.44, pp.23-40.  Epub Feb 15, 2022. ISSN 1794-2489.  https://doi.org/10.25058/20112742.n44.02.

This article explores the symbolic transition occurring across South America, related to the shift of paradigm signaling the collapse of national States foundational narratives all over the region. We discuss a framework to help understand the recent initiatives from ethnic communities in Colombia exhorting to overriding memorials, such as the statues of conquerors, who were regarded as founders of the Colombian nation-State culture. In this article, we discuss how these actions should be understood in a historical resistance process stemmed from local communities that began with the dynamics of the first sixteenth-century globalization. Thus, the claims of ethnic communities for knocking down historic benchmarks of the nation foundation should be understood in a historic and political perspective.
