The limits of the Colombian Caribbean

Abstract

This article refers to advance a hypothesis related to the extension or geographical demarcation of a Colombian cultural region called "Colombian Caribbean". It declares the real existence of the same in spite of corresponding to a naturalized designation of the inhabitants of other regions of that country and being subjected to the game of power relations between regions, headed by the capital region itself. It refers to a reflection of a documentary nature, but at the same time autoethnographic due to the fact that the authors are immigrants who have been residing for five (5) years in this region coming from the Zuliana region, Venezuela, as immigrants; several of the statements derive from this place of enunciation. The latter is the best possible, having lived all his life on the Venezuelan side and now residing in the so-called Colombian Caribbean. It is concluded in the probable existence of a Colombian-Venezuelan Caribbean or of the continuity of the Colombian Caribbean beyond the border zone between Colombia and Venezuela, towards the territory of the latter, surpassing the borders between both countries.
