Frontier Road uses the history of one road in southern Colombia—known locally as “the trampoline of death”—to demonstrate how state-building processes and practices have depended on the production and maintenance of frontiers as inclusive-exclusive zones, often through violent means. Considers the topic from multiple perspectives, including ethnography of the state, the dynamics of frontiers, and the nature of postcolonial power, space, and violenceDraws attention to the political, environmental, and racial dynamics involved in the history and development of transport infrastructure in the Amazon regionExamines the violence that has sustained the state through time and space, as well as the ways in which ordinary people have made sense of and contested that violence in everyday lifeIncorporates a broad range of engaging sources, such as missionary and government archives, travel writing, and oral histories

Carretera de frontera trata sobre el proyecto de construcción del estado en la Amazonia colombiana a través de la historia y etnografía de una carretera. Al trazar sus orígenes, conflictos y múltiples metamorfosis, el autor describe la violencia física y simbólica que ha dado forma a este proyecto, las ficciones que lo han sostenido en el tiempo, y la manera como las gentes de la región le han dado sentido y lo han confrontado. Asimismo, da cuenta del papel que han jugado ciertas infraestructuras en la producción de espacios de frontera y, a la vez, de cómo estos espacios han sido cruciales en la permanencia de un orden social y político hegemónico.
