The Construction of the Amazonian Borderlands through the longue durée: An Indigenous Perspective

Minerva Campion

Journal of Borderlands Studies, 2018, vol. 33, issue 1, 123-140

Abstract: This paper discusses the fragmentation and reconstruction processes of the Amazonian borderlands of Ecuador and Peru. We focus on the Chicham indigenous group, also known by the colonial term jibaro, which has historically offered resistance in the Amazonia. We consider the longue durée a productive perspective to address these borderlands. Most of the bibliography about this particular border region relies on a State-centred approach, so in this paper we stress the indigenous borderland perspective silenced by subalternisation mechanisms.
