Ramón Illán Bacca is one of the most representative novelists of the second half of the twentieth century of the Colombian Caribbean region for his humor inclusion, the record of popular media culture and the urban Caribbean area. This study analyzes how Bacca's representations of the Chinese, both in his newspaper articles and in his novels Deborah Kruel (2001) and La mujer barbuda (2011), reproduce the orientalist and sinophobic stereotypes of the Chinese as an inadmissible Otherness within the project of the Colombian universal Caribbean. This study shows the limits of the inclusion of difference in this cosmopolitan universalistic ideal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Despite the wide diversity suggested for the Colombian Pacific, to date little has been documented about its flooded forests, which have not allowed management strategies to be undertaken according to the characteristics of the sites. In order to contribute to the knowledge of these ecosystems, the floristic structure was characterized and the carbon stored in the total biomass of three flooded forests (Mangrove, Sajal and Guandal) was estimated. Ten plots of 0.1 ha were established. Individuals with diameter (D1.30) > 5 cm and height in meters were measured. Aerial biomass was calculated using allometric equations developed for this type of ecosystem. The Importance Value Index was determined. A Principal Component Analysis was performed to compare the composition and structure of the three ecosystems. Data on number of individuals, basal area, biomass and carbon were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric analysis of variance. A total of 1678 individuals were recorded, grouped into 92 species and 38 botanical families. On average, 29.5 MgC ha-1 were found stored in total biomass (below and above ground), distributed in Mangrove 37.7 MgC ha-1, Sajal 28.3 MgC ha-1 and Guandal 22.4 MgC ha-1. Mangrove presents a greater number of individuals than Guandal and Sajal. Two groups were found: the first dominated by one species and the second with more than three dominant species.

This article describes the social insertion process of Colombian refugees' families in Manaus (Amazonas, Brazil), discussing about cultural identity issues and conflicts with the local society. The qualitative research with an exploratory and descriptive character occurred in two phases: a) documentary research in the database of the migrant pastoral to identify the refugees profile who passed through Manaus between January, 2013 and December/2014, specially the Colombians (gender, age, scholar degree, precedence); b) semi-structured interviews with the families settled in Manaus. We analyzed the data through descriptive statistics and content analysis, respectively. Among the 159 refuge requesters, 90 were Colombian, which fled their country due to insecurity and violence of the paramilitary forces. The social inclusion of the only 4 families that remained in Manaus was facilitated for reception of the pastoral, but the language, familial problems, work and housing made it difficult. The customs and traditions act to maintain the Colombian identity, but the fear of being identified by other Colombians make them not insert to this group. There is prejudice and discrimination of local groups about the Colombian refugees. We conclude that despite the existence of a refugee law in Brazil, there is no strategy that facilitates the social insertion in the local society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
