Agrarian counterpoint: Disease stigma and inconspicuous suffering in Colombia's borderlands
In Colombia's northeastern borderlands, agrarian economies shape how disease risk and stigma are understood and managed. As shown in ethnographic fieldwork in and around the Catatumbo region, cutaneous leishmaniasis—a sandfly‐transmitted disease that produces chronic skin lesions—appears in two radically different guises across adjacent territories. In coca‐growing areas, the disease is driven underground and treated as a marker of criminality. I…
Extending public health framings of drug use to the health impacts of drug production: The case of coca growers in Northeastern Colombia
This article critically examines the absence of a public health approach to the well-being of coca leaf producers in Colombia, a group disproportionately affected by the War on Drugs. While harm reduction frameworks address drug consumption as a public health issue, no comparable strategy has been developed to tackle the health vulnerabilities afflicting those involved in drug production . Drawing on ethnographic research and interviews in Catatu…
Military Dogs and Their Soldier Companions: The More-than-human Biopolitics of Leishmaniasis in Conflict-torn Colombia
Cutaneous leishmaniasis is a vector-borne disease that produces growing skin ulcers. In Colombia, the transmitting phlebotomine sandfly is native to the same jungles that have been the primary theater of war. Although combatants are the most affected by leishmaniasis, military landmine detection dogs are also significantly impacted. This article draws on ethnographic field research with human and canine members of the Colombian military. While th…
Poisonously single-minded: Public health implications of the pharmaceuticalization of leishmaniasis in Colombia
Cutaneous leishmaniasis is a vector-borne disease transmitted by sandflies that causes skin ulcers. In Colombia, this disease mainly affects rural populations and combatants of the armed conflict. The state management of leishmaniasis is pharmaceuticalized – centered on a highly toxic drug called Glucantime. Drawing on critical views of the pharmaceuticalization of public health and the implications of the massive use of drugs in colonial context…
