Figure 7.4 Cerro Taburete, 1970-1980.
Courtesy of the authors. Figure 7.4 shows in the foreground the hamlet Loma Pacha, which lies east of San Francisco Javier, and the nearly conical hill, Mount Taburete planted almost entirely in coffee before the war. The hill was owned by three landlords, including one colonel. The author of the map, assisted by two other cooperative members, seem to have imagined standing on the next hill to the east, looking down at the houses of the workers in the hamlet and up toward the hill, and then unwrapping the hidden backside of the hill onto the paper just beyond the triangle of the cone (an extraordinary cartographic projection). The author wrote the following notation (with the original idiosyncratic spelling): Asía el serro del taurete propiedades tomadas por personas campesinas which means, "Toward Mount Taburete, properties taken by campesino persons," an unprompted assertion of defiance and achievement. click a quadrant for enlargement ![]() |
