Abstract

This article is the outcome of the construction of a state of the art study as part of the Education and Society PhD research process, with a documentary review exercise whose purpose is to locate the initiatives of groups of female victims in the production of proposals in the context of collective reparation, within the framework of the currently in force Law 1448, on victims and restitution of land, enacted in 2011. The state of the art study outlines the initiatives of female victims who have placed particular emphasis on the argument that damage to Afro-Colombian communities must be valued, made visible and politicized. The cultural framework of black populations must also be recognized, particularly in terms of the use of ancestral knowledge in life and the meaning of daily life. This forms a landscape of popular knowledge that is also a field for political development, from a perspective of ethnicity that gives meaning to healing processes in symbolic, substantive and operational dimensions and which, in turn, reaffirms their identity processes.
