Resumen
De manera generalizada el conocimiento de nuestra historia patria se circunscribe a los textos oficiales, en donde se transmiten datos acerca de hechos y fechas importantes, personajes relevantes, guerras y gastas heroicas, con un determinado enfoque ideológico que ha invisibilizado ciertas regiones y zonas del país, así como a ciertos sectores y personajes. Es por ello que presentamos este artículo con el abordaje del cultivo del café en Tilarán, desde la perspectiva de sus actores, es decir, dándonos la oportunidad de conocer en sus propias palabras cómo vivieron este proceso y cómo lo han conocido e interpretado sus descendientes directos.
Generally, knowledge of our national history is limited to official texts, which convey information about important events and dates, prominent figures, wars, and heroic exploits, with a specific ideological focus that has rendered certain regions and areas of the country, as well as certain sectors and figures, invisible. Therefore, we present this article, addressing coffee cultivation in Tilarán from the perspective of its participants. That is, giving us the opportunity to learn in their own words how they experienced this process and how their direct descendants have understood and interpreted it.
