¿Qué es ser “moreno”, “libre”, “chocoano”, “cholo” o “Emberá” en los ríos del Chocó rural? ¿Son necesarios la presencia, el impacto cultural y la parcial inclusión del otro en el espacio social propio para desplegar todos los recursos y competencias sociales y culturales para sentirse plenamente uno mismo? ¿Pueden entenderse la trama interétnica y sus diferentes figuras como una de las fuentes de la creatividad social y de la singularidad cultural de ciertos grupos minoritarios acercados por la historia y el territorio? ¿Cómo analizar construcciones culturales cuya identidad consiste precisamente en su apertura audaz hacia otras, en la multiplicidad de prácticas, alianzas y referentes territoriales y culturales? ¿Sería esta estrategia cultural una alternativa a la ignorancia del otro y a la violencia ? Es alrededor de estas preguntas que el presente libro —al margen de un concepto contrastivo y cerrado de la identidad— se adentra en la exploración del espacio social y su construcción cultural y ritual dentro de los grupos negros e indígenas Emberá vecinos del Chocó rural. Dibujando las filigranas históricas, sociales y culturales de su desarrollo y convivencia en la sutil dialéctica entre distancia y proximidad, Anne-Marie Losonczy analiza la circulación interétnica de bienes, servicios, enfermedades, curaciones, rituales, palabras y silencios. Los lineamientos del compadrazgo intra e interétnico creador de redes regionales entre lo rural y lo urbano, los de la presencia de la huella del África del lejano origen y los vecinos Emberá, y las astucias rituales de ambos grupos para desarmar conflictos internos con los recursos del otro, reproducen espacios sociales de intersección que se convierten en una interdependencia mutua y, simultáneamente, en una fuente de singularidad cultural para ambos. Cruzamientos y circulación de prácticas e ideas, zarabanda de santos, muertos, diablos y espíritus chamánicos: su análisis permite a la autora despejar una vía inédita para…

"People employ various methods to extract gold in the rainforests of the Chocó, in northwest Colombia: Rural Afro-Colombian artisanal miners work hillsides with hand tools or dredge mud from river bottoms. Migrant miners level the landscape with excavators, then trap gold with mercury. Canadian mining companies prospect for open-pit mega-mines. Drug traffickers launder cocaine profits by smuggling gold into Colombia and claiming it came from fictitious small-scale mines. Through an ethnography of gold that examines the movement of people, commodities, and capital, Shifting Livelihoods investigates how resource extraction reshapes a place. In the Chocó, gold enables forms of "shift" (Colombian: rebusque)-a metaphor for the fluid livelihood strategy adopted by forest dwellers and migrant gold miners alike as they seek informal work amid a drug war. Mining's effects on rural people, corporations, and politics are on view in this fine-grained account of daily life in a regional economy dominated by gold and cocaine"--
