Abstract

In this chapter, Vergara-Figueroa argues that there is a need for an analytical framework for Afrodiasporic feminist sociology of land dispossession to historicize processes of deracination such as the massacre at Bellavista-Bojayá-Chocó-Colombia. The deriving analytics of this study suggest a path to overcome the limitation of the prevailing intellectual, legal, and political framework of forced migration. This book is an attempt to demonstrate the need to unthink and deconstruct a conceptual framework that is limited, dubious, and narrow-minded. Such limitations are dangerous in the sense that they may contribute to the legitimization of renovated discourses and practices of domination and dispossession.

Some excerpts of this chapter were co-authored with Katherine Arboleda and published in Aurora Vergara Figueroa, & Katherine Arboleda Hurtado. (2016). Afrodiasporic Feminist Conspiracy: Motivations and Paths forward from the First International Seminar. Meridians, 14(2), 118–129. doi:10.2979/meridians.14.2.08.
