The Construction of the Sociopolitical Movement in Cauca Colombia

This research focused on the historical development of the original Nasa people in the Colombian Cauca, as well as their relationship with the CRIC (Consejo Regional Indígena del Cauca), which is fundamental to analyze the global and continental development of indigenous social movements. It is a substrate to explain some of the contemporary mobilization actions in the region and the interactions between its components, such as the identity of the individual/collective subject, the Colombian conflict in its different nuances, the adversaries against whom the societal orientation is disputed and the different strategies and repertoires of action used to confront them. It draws on the most important theoretical elements of the global perspectives of social mobilization such as the North American theory of resource mobilization, the European paradigm of identity and the vast contribution that has recently begun to consolidate from different perspectives in Latin America, elements of each panorama that when contrasted and developed in a critical manner allow the use of lenses to understand the case of this movement, one of the first of its kind.
