"The long"?time requirements of the nation": The US Cooperative Soil Survey and the Political Ecologies of Improvement

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/anti.12470?af=R Abstract

The culturally and ecologically diverse Pacific lowlands of Colombia are both the locus and product of key political economic and cultural political conjunctures. Twenty"?five years after they emerged in their current form, Afro"?Colombian ethnic and territorial struggles have become important icons of resistance to development and struggles for social change. But in Colombia as in other parts of the world, the rapid and violent expansion of capitalist accumulation and state power have had devastating consequences for the region's forests and communities"?literally and epistemically fragmenting both. Based on long"?term fieldwork, this paper examines the ongoing and contentious co"?production of the Colombian Pacific region amidst the increasingly violent forces of neoliberal governmentality in the 21st century. It shows that the Pacific lowlands are an example of "political forests" in the sense that they are a contested site and product of Afro"?Colombian cultural politics and state territorialisation.
