All this is based on secondary references and focused on rebuilding their occupation routes and some geographical factors. In the foundations of these border regions of Costa Rica and Panamá there is a cross-border people that, during the colonial and independent times, was fragmented, but even in this century, they still resist. This is the case of the Ngäbe Bugle. Due to the wars that took place in the territory currently occupied by Panama, Chiricanos -as people from the Chiriquí province are called, came to look for refuge, grasslands, agricultural lands to finally work at banana plantations. They are the same social network of the mestizo peasantry that dominated the coastal regions of the country –both in the Caribbean and in the Pacific, which facilitated their fusion with other local groups. This article shows that the concept of border responds to political rather than to cultural reasons, because the territory is a continuum, especially in border areas. Este artículo analiza la presencia de los chiricanos en el Sur de Costa Rica, apoyado en referencia secundaria y centrada en la reconstrucción de sus rutas de ocupación. En los cimientos de la región fronteriza entre Costa Rica y Panamá se ubica un pueblo transfronterizo, que durante la época colonial e independiente fue fraccionado, pero que, aún en este siglo se resiste a ser asimilado por la cultura occidental como es el caso de los ngäbe buglé. Los chiricanos, como se le denomina a los pobladores de la provincia vecina de Chiriquí, llegaron a obtener refugio por las guerras acaecidas en el territorio que actualmente ocupa Panamá, en procura de áreas de pastoreo o tierras agrícolas, y finalmente pasan a ser mano de obra en las plantaciones bananeras; son el mismo tejido del campesinado mestizo que dominó en las regiones costeras del país tanto en el Caribe como en el Pacífico, lo cual facilitó su fusión con otros grupos. Este artículo evidencia que el concepto de frontera responde a razones más políticas que culturales, debido a que el territorio es un continuo, especialmente en regiones fronterizas.

This article analyzes the presence of chiricanos in Southern Costa Rica. All this is based on secondary references and focused on rebuilding their occupation routes and some geographical factors. In the foundations of these border regions of Costa Rica and Panamá there is a cross-border people that, during the colonial and independent times, was fragmented, but even in this century, they still resist. This is the case of the Ngäbe Bugle. Due to the wars that took place in the territory currently occupied by Panama, Chiricanos -as people from the Chiriquí province are called, came to look for refuge, grasslands, agricultural lands to finally work at banana plantations. They are the same social network of the mestizo peasantry that dominated the coastal regions of the country –both in the Caribbean and in the Pacific, which facilitated their fusion with other local groups. This article shows that the concept of border responds to political rather than to cultural reasons, because the territory is a continuum, especially in border areas. |
