HISTORY OF AGRICULTURAL CREDIT DURING THE LIBERAL GOVERNMENTS (1930-1946), A CASE STUDY IN THE PROVINCE OF VALLEDUPAR (MAGDALENA GRANDE)

Abstract

In recent years, regional economic history has seen significant progress on the Caribbean coast.[1]This has been possible through the creation of the History program at the University of the Atlantic and the University of Cartagena, which promotes the professionalization of the discipline, the development of historiography, the holding of academic events, and the organization of archives.

[1]The rise of regional history in Colombia began in the 1970s, within the framework of multi-scale analyses aimed at understanding historical events from different levels of observation. However, its development has been problematic in the national context, as while it has made local and regional particularities visible, it has also contributed to reinforcing fragmented identities that have sometimes hindered the consolidation of a national project. One of the founding texts is Adolfo Meisel Roca (editor) (1994). Economic and Social History of the Colombian Caribbean. Santa Fe de Bogotá; Uninorte Publishing.
