Beschreibungen
Focusing on two cases of resettlement in rural Cundinamarca, Colombia, this book examines how displaced <i>campesinos</i> make sense of their displacement and how displacement shapes their everyday lives. It is based on a ten-month fieldwork employing ethnographic methods working, living and sharing with the displaced and their host. The book calls for a longer time-frame analysis of the phenomenon of displacement, which considers people’s lives both pre- and post- physical relocation. It examines how violence and terror altered people’s sense of place and set off displacement process before they actually moved. It analyses the challenges the displaced are facing in their subsequent place-making endeavours, including the negotiation of social relations, consequences of categorization, engagement with the physical land, and memories of violence to challenge the notion that displacement starts with uprooting and terminates with resettlement or return.<b></b>

Focusing on two cases of resettlement in rural Colombia, this book examines how displaced <i>campesinos</i> make sense of their plight and how it shapes their everyday lives. It is based on ten months of fieldwork employing ethnographic methods working, living and sharing with the displaced and the receiving populations; both of whom are in their own ways struggling to make their place.
<i>Living displacement</i> draws on people’s narratives which are embedded in the broader socio-political and historic context of the country. These narratives depict lives of violence and terror; dangerous journeys to the current hamlets and the burden, consequences and the symbolism associated with the category <i>desplazado</i> (internally displaced person). It investigates the process of place negotiation between the displaced and the receiving populations, each with claims to a right of belonging, the challenges the displaced encounter in their attempts to tame unknown terrains and how the nostalgic memories of the place left behind and the still present fear shape individuals’ lives.
The book suggests that these complex experiences are best understood through the prism of place, examining people’s lives both pre- and post- physical relocation. The gradual loss of place to violence and terror and subsequent process of place-making after uprooting demonstrate that displacement is not an event which starts with movement and ends with resettlement or return, but is a process whose timeframes are difficult to define.
