Abstract

This article analyses the conflicts between agricultural entrepreneurs and colonist farmers within the framework of colonization towards the Magdalena Medio region of Antioquia. These conflicts are studied in the cycle of farmer protests from 1926 to 1947. This period was characterized by the use of the legal apparatus by those actors who occupied the border. Nevertheless, there will also be expressions of violence that sought to prevent the distribution of the land. Contentiousness in this area is dynamic because it arises from top to bottom but also in horizontally among all sectors involved.
