The Colombianist historian, Catherine LeGrand, tells us about her research experience in Colombia, the reasons that led her to be interested in the correspondence of baldíos (wasteland archives), her colleague with Chucho Bejarano, Jorge Orlando Melo, Marco Palacios, Jesus Antonio Bejarano, among others. Do not miss an interview that is key to the understanding of the historiography on agrarian processes in Colombia. It is critical to remember some of the most important theses about the accumulation of baldíos and the peasant colonization in Colombia in the context of the Peace Agreements signed by the colombian Government and the FARC-EP (guerrilla).
