1. Resisting poverty : perspectives on participation and social development. The case of CRIC and the eastern rural region of Cauca in Colombia
Sammanfattning : With the reproduction of severe deprivation among the campesinado in Latin America as a starting-point,the report explores the mechanisms of impoverishment in the eastern rural region of the department of Cauca in Colombia and the forms of resistance initiated by the Regional Indigenous Council of Cauca (CRIC).
