Descripción
Sumario:The aim of the article will be analysing the process of modernisation in Colombia which in mid-19th century arose from rubber production, subsequent to the occupation of territories which became the source of the country’s development ever since. Hence a “rain-forest literature” arose depicting the “savages” living the Amazon area between the Putumayo and Caquetá rivers, consisting of travel journals which, blending science and fiction, analysed the region and its people from a colonialist and Euro-centric standpoint. The article will focus on the aforementioned niche literature, which articulates viewpoints that diverge from the “civilising and modernizing progress” in the Colombian Amazon.
