DECOLONIZING “COMPROMISO CARIBE”: TOWARD THE DESIGN AND IDENTIFICATION FOR OTHER PERSPECTIVES ON COLOMBIAN CARIBBEAN

Abstract

This text makes a reading of the document “compromiso Caribe” exploring the context in it was raised. Makes a review of how this discourse has hidden the emergence of other approaches and claims of Caribbean -Colombian subjects about their multiple realities and experience at different sites of existence. It is argued that although the “compromiso caribe” is in a sense a general cry of the Caribbean -Colombian and offers some regional unity against a centralized state, its orientation is still in the hands of hegemonic sectors (economic, political and academic) that that reproduce patterns of cultural racism that starts on a lack of the perspectives of caribbean colombian subjects perspectives, who have been made invisible by that speech, while they are to give a political power to Compromiso Caribe as a device of coloniality. Thus, compromiso Caribe is a prisoner of culturalist and that the power, action repertoires and the path of the struggles of other subjects elsewhere in the Colombian Caribbean in order to its existence, undermining their own chances of enriching and the nature of their demands.
