Forced internal displacement in Colombia. Identity reinventing and its implications in local and national cultures

Abstract

In Colombia, forced internal displacement of population is a long term axis; inscribed in a multipolar an diferential armed confrontation in the regions; tre victims are diverse: they don´t belong to a race, a religion, or a specific social group or class. The fragility of nation, joint to the virtuality of rights and the deep weakness of democracy has effects that produce changes and restructuration in the local and national cultures. At the same time, is growing the intensity of exclusion and intolerance situations suffered by new displaced people forced away to cities. In consecuence, struggles for recognition to the right of Nation and City emerge, inscribed in a multiple platform trat should be responsability of the whole country: socioeconomic stabilization, social recognition, political inclusion, and moral reparation.
