Synopsis

This research analyzed the socio-environmental context of the binational ancestral peoples of Cofán, Pasto, Awá, and Afro of the border. As a result of the Spanish colonialist process and after the independence proclamation, these communities were fragmented and trapped in a reality that continues afflicting their existence in the territory.

This interinstitutional study between UNAD (the Spanish acronym for Universidad Nacional Abierta y a Distancia) and the FLACSO (The Latin American Faculty of Social Sciences) focused its analysis on a thorough research of primary and secondary sources, highlighting an acute historical problem both of exploitation of these communities’ workforce and exploitation of natural resources surrounding their territories. Therefore, it is easy to elucidate the extractive dynamics and their consequences, resulting from the Afro and ingenious workforce recruitment from colonial times to this day. This is when these communities are caught in the crossfire by the management of (legal and illegal) mining, logging, oil and coca exploitation in the surrounding area of the entire Colombian-Ecuadorian Border Integration Zone (ZIFEC for its Spanish acronym).
