El Ciclo de Conferencias de Estudios africanos y de la Diáspora Africana [CEADA] invitan a la conferencia “Los grandes retos que debe resolver el pueblo Afrocolombiano” presentada por José Eulícer Mosquera Rentería.



Al estudiar las causas de la problemática de los Afrocolombianos, encontramos que básicamente está determinada por una dinámica que ha prevalecido en la sociedad colombiana, desde la colonia hasta nuestros días, mediante la cual, producen capital para otros y no les permite producir capital para sí mismos, manteniendo a estas comunidades en un proceso de descapitalización permanente y en los límites de la marginalidad social. Lo que preocupa no solo es la pobreza marginal del pueblo afrocolombiano, y la discriminación a que son sometidas sus gentes, la cual no sólo se manifiesta en actitudes de las mayorías de las otras etnias o grupos sociales blanco - mestizos colombianos, sino, además en las escasas y restringidas posibilidades ofrecidas tanto por el Estado, como por la empresa privada; esto aun cuando han pasado más de dos siglos de ruptura con la colonia y de nacimiento de la República.

De manera documentada, desde la trata de personas y su esclavización hasta la colonia, desde las campañas independentistas hasta la formación de la República, desde los albores de la República hasta la situación contemporánea del estado colombiano. José Eulicer se embarca en un diagnóstico y nos cuenta sobre los grandes desafíos que debe resolver el pueblo afrocolombiano.

José Eulícer Mosquera Rentería, es un docente-investigador en las áreas de ciencias sociales, economía y filosofía, con más de 30 años de experiencia, con entidades estatales, privadas y ONGs. Es director del Centro de Estudios e Investigaciones Sociales Afrocolombianas, CEISAFROCOL, desde 1988. Ha realizado estudios universitarios en economía, educación para la interculturalidad, ciencias Sociales y Filosofía en Colombia, Rusia y España (Escuela de Economía de Moscú, Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia, Universidad de la Sabana, Bogotá, Universidad Complutense de Madrid). Ha publicado 23 libros y folletos y más de un centenar de artículos, entrevistas y conferencias en periódicos, revistas, la Internet, radio y televisión. Nació en Andagoya, Chocó, Colombia y actualmente es Candidato al Congreso de la República.

“The great challenges that the Afro-Colombian people must solve” presented by José Eulícer Mosquera Rentería.
When studying the causes of Afro-Colombians' problem(s), we find that it is basically determined by a dynamic that has prevailed in Colombian society, from the colony to the present, through which they produce capital for others but do not allow them to produce capital for themselves, keeping these communities in a process of permanent decapitalization and the limits of social marginalization. What is worrying is not only the extreme poverty of Afro-Colombians and the discrimination to which their peoples are subjected, which is not only manifested in the attitudes of other ethnic groups or social groups such as whites and mestizos but also the scarce and restricted possibilities offered by both the State and the private sector; even when more than two centuries have passed since the break-up with the Spanish Empire and the birth of the Republic.
Documenting, from the trafficking of persons and enslavement to the colony, from the independence campaigns to the formation of the Republic, from the dawn of the Republic to the contemporary situation of the Colombian state. José Eulicer embarks on a diagnosis and tells us about the great challenges that the Afro-Colombian people must solve.

If you have a great passion, the logical thing to do is see the fruit of it. That is simply what our agripreneuer this week is about. He may not know where the Passion fruit got its name from but has certainly mastered how to grow it. I am sure you are curious too..allow me to be your Google today.. Apparently, Passion Fruit was named by the 16th century Spanish Catholic Missionaries in the Amazon region of Brazil. They called it - Passionflower /” flower of the five wounds” after its purple flower which they believed resembled the five wounds of Christ. You are welcome.. ..

In places around the world, supplies of groundwater are rapidly vanishing. As aquifers decline and wells begin to go dry, people are being forced to confront a growing crisis.

Much of the planet relies on groundwater. And in places around the world – from the United States to Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America – so much water is pumped from the ground that aquifers are being rapidly depleted and wells are going dry.

Groundwater is disappearing beneath cornfields in Kansas, rice paddies in India, asparagus farms in Peru and orange groves in Morocco. As these critical water reserves are pumped beyond their limits, the threats are mounting for people who depend on aquifers to supply agriculture, sustain economies and provide drinking water. In some areas, fields have already turned to dust and farmers are struggling.

Climate change is projected to increase the stresses on water supplies, and heated disputes are erupting in places where those with deep wells can keep pumping and leave others with dry wells. Even as satellite measurements have revealed the problem’s severity on a global scale, many regions have failed to adequately address the problem. Aquifers largely remain unmanaged and unregulated, and water that seeped underground over tens of thousands of years is being gradually used up.

In this documentary, USA TODAY and The Desert Sun investigate the consequences of this emerging crisis in several of the world’s hotspots of groundwater depletion. These are stories about people on four continents confronting questions of how to safeguard their aquifers for the future – and in some cases, how to cope as the water runs out.
