Abstract

This article shows part of the results of a survey on the importance of the testimonial genre in the context of regional peasant struggles in the Colombian Caribbean, specifically in the
Sinú subregion during the 1970s, based on the compositional uniqueness and worldview of Historias de Raca Mandaca by David Sánchez Juliao. The text links this uniqueness with the
documentation of such conflicts, and establishes their relationship with the alternative proposals for a Colombian nation proposed by the peasantry of the Sinú region.
