description | Derived from fieldwork carried out in 2010 within the border region of Talamanca, Costa Rica, with special emphasis on Bribri indigenous women, this paper analyzes the construction of Bribri identities; that is, the relationships between women’s roles, agriculture and three types of territories: Bribri, border and national.Anthropology and political geography allow for the comprehension of the power relationships and patrimony-creating processes put in place in a region where stakeholders build diverse territorial representations, as well as different commercial and political interests. Special attention is given to the resistance rationales of women’s organic cacao production organizations against the expansion of banana monoculture. How do these organizations resist and articulate a discourse around the importance of protecting traditional cacao culture and the environment (PILA)? |
