The banana zone of Santa Marta: the planters of the 'Green gold'
2005
Overview
ABSTRACT IN FRENCH: Dans l'empire de la United Fruit, la Zone Bananière de Santa Marta s'est distinguée par le nombre important des planteurs locaux. Ceux-ci sont d'autre part au coeur du drame majeur de l'histoire de la Zone, la grève de 1928. Complétée par les témoignages et les chroniques sur la grève, l'historiographie permet de connaître assez bien ce groupe de planteurs mais, dans un registre qui va de la tragédie à la farce, le récit de fiction contribue aussi à cette connaissance. // ABSTRACT IN SPANISH: En el imperio de la United Fruit, la Zona Bananera de Santa Marta se distinguió por el importante número de los productores locales. Estos tuvieron además un papel central en el gran drama de la historia de la Zona, la huelga de 1928. Completada por los testimonios y las crónicas sobre la huelga, la historiografía permite conocer bastante bien ese grupo de productores pero, con enfoques que van desde lo trágico hasta lo grotesco, el relato de ficción también contribuye a ese conocimiento. // ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH: Within the United Fruit's empire, Santa Marta's Banana Zone had become famous for its large number of local planters. Besides, these same planters where in the heart of the mayor tragedy of the Zone's history: the 1928 strike. Complemented by evidences and chronicles of the strike, historiography permits to get quite well acquainted with this group of planters but, in a register leading from tragedy to farce, literary fiction provides also a good contribution to this knowledge.
