Territories of Difference: Place, Movements, Life, Redes
Abstract
In Territories of Difference , Arturo Escobar, author of the widely debated book Encountering Development , analyzes the politics of difference enacted by specific place-based ethnic and environmental movements in the context of neoliberal globalization. His analysis is based on his many years of engagement with a group of Afro-Colombian activists of Colombia’s Pacific rainforest region, the Proceso de Comunidades Negras (PCN). Escobar offers a detailed ethnographic account of PCN’s visions, strategies, and practices, and he chronicles and analyzes the movement’s struggles for autonomy, territory, justice, and cultural recognition. Yet he also does much more. Consistently emphasizing the value of local activist knowledge for both understanding and social action and drawing on multiple strands of critical scholarship, Escobar proposes new ways for scholars and activists to examine and apprehend the momentous, complex processes engulfing regions such as the Colombian Pacific today. Escobar illuminates many interrelated dynamics, including the Colombian government’s policies of development and pluralism that created conditions for the emergence of black and indigenous social movements and those movements’ efforts to steer the region in particular directions. He examines attempts by capitalists to appropriate the rainforest and extract resources, by developers to set the region on the path of modernist progress, and by biologists and others to defend this incredibly rich biodiver…

“Thus, the territories of subalterns have been considered as spaces of divergence (Lopes de Souza 2015) and resistance (Escobar 2008;Oslender 2008Oslender , 2016;;Manc ¸ano Fernandes 2009, 2010;Agnew and Oslender 2010;Bryan 2012;Porto Gonc ¸alves 2012;Zibechi 2012).”

“With the exceptions of Brazil and Colombia, the study of African descendants has not paid sufficient attention to their spatial practices, an analysis of which would afford insights into contemporary strategies of political resistance (Escobar 2008;Oslender 2008Oslender , 2016;;P erez-Wilke 2014;da Costa Segovia et al. 2015; Lombard, Hern andez-Garc ıa, and Salgado-Ram ırez 2021).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
