In Colombia, rural working people's struggles are led by Indigenous Peoples, Afro-Colombians, and Campesinxs, each with platforms for land claims. While these efforts have yielded significant titles and land areas, contradictions arise as the state's and capital's attempts to capture land for capitalist accumulation. This process relies on a divide-and-conquer strategy to maintain political legitimacy through consent and coercion. The effect is fragmented movements and struggles that are ‘merely sectoral’. The challenge for academic research and practical politics is to confront and not back away from complicated political tensions to construct a framework that can bypass the trap of being ‘merely sectoral’.
