Description in English: Artisanal fishing in Colombia is a field little studied by anthropology and national social sciences, except for the sociological work of Orlando Fals Borda: Double History of the Coast (1979). Between water and land is a study on the fishing communities of the municipalities of Santa Bárbara de PINSERT INTO and Plato, in the Momposina Depression, as political, social and cultural individuals of constitutional importance, who shape their lifestyle and identity in an intimate relationship with water, wetlands and the river. The book is the product of an ethnographic exercise carried out with the Alma Foundation, in 2016, within the investigation framework of the Diagnosis of the artisanal fishermen life in the floodplain of the Magdalena and Cauca rivers (Bajo Magdalena), which was proposed, through oralities, daily experience, and local knowledge, to understand the realities and ways of life of fishing communities in this area of the Caribbean region of Colombia.
