Description

Cover image:
The cover of a book, titled “Graphic history of the fight for land [rights] in the Atlantic coastal [region of Colombia]”. The drawings are attributed to Ulianov Chalarka and the book itself to Fundación del Sinú. The cover shows four title pages, each relating to short stories in the book. They are titled: “Tinajones: a village fighting for its land”; “El Boche: a rebel peasant farmer from the Sinú”; “Lomagrande: the bastion of the Sinú”; “Felicita Campos: the woman peasant farmer fighting for land”.
Second Image:
An individual page from the story about Felicita Campos narrates a confrontation in which a landowner is ordering his workers and tenant farmers to mark their own cattle with his brand. Felicita protests and tries to organise resistance in the face of threats. She is then arrested by the police, on the pretext that she and her community are invaders on the landowner’s property.
