This paper aims to analyze the spaces of political intersection that have been established between the Wayuu people and the hegemonic Venezuelan society. Rurpose, we use the ethnographic method to articulate fieldwork conducted in urban communities and political organizations that are built. The Wayuu are people of a relentless mobility and ethnic vitality; but today, they face assimilation, appropriation, innovation and creation of socio-cultural elements in the light of exchanges with the dominant power system. In conclusion, we believe that the legal/political recognition of indigenous cultures is not enough. We must take the necessary steps for an intercultural dialogue that allows the relevance of wayuu leadership (new or traditional) that redefines their practices, in the urban, in a constant tension between change and continuity.

Si quisiéramos suscribir la obra de Yara Altez dentro de algunas de las sub-disciplinas de la antropología podríamos enmarcarla perfectamente en una antropología filosófica. Aunque más concretamente la autora lo definiría en su obra como una “epistemología de la antropología” o una “antropología de la antropología” lo que implicaría un esfuerzo de autorreflexión sobre la disciplina en torno a la producción de conocimiento teórico y aproximación al hombre, la sociedad y la cultura.
