Produktbeschreibung

"Kiran Asher provides the best exploration we have of Afro-Colombians' experiences in the wake of an unprecedented 1991 constitutional clause recognizing collective land rights for black communities. Across the disciplines, students of racial politics and environmental organizing will benefit from her thoughtful analysis and the clarity of her approach."--Ann Farnsworth-Alvear, author of "Dulcinea in the Factory: Myths, Morals, Men, and Women in Colombia's Industrial Experiment, 1905-1960"
