Pierre Raymond is a
social scientist who has been living in Colombia[1] since 1979, and has been working on the country’s rural problems. He has undertaken in Colombia, his adopted country, several studies of rural economy, sociology and history. He also has been teaching at university subjects related to these topics to students in economics, rural development and forestry
.
One of the research works he has completed in the
fibre
by ancient techniques.
The results of this research were published in three places (two editions of " Vida y muerte del algodón y los textiles santandereanos ", Universidad Javeriana, 1981, new and revised edition, editorial Ecoe, 1989; " Historia del algodón en Santander ", Banco de la República, 1990). Later on, two other researchers studied other aspects of the local textile production and new information was thus published. (Beatriz Granados: « Visión Histórico Cultural del Trabajo Textil en Charalá »,
Colcultura
, 1994; Beatriz Devia (« Colores de la Naturaleza para el Algodón », Fondo FEN, 1996).
These researches caught the attention of a
social worker
, who then undertook a first effort to revive the homemade production of cotton fabric as part of the programme of adapted rural education. Later on, a German NGO known in Colombia as "Pan para el Mundo" took over this endeavour. This organization accompanied for several years efforts to improve the quality and diversity of homemade cotton products. It also helped to form an organization of people involved in the cultivation of cotton plants and in textile production, now known as the " Corporación de Recuperación Comunera del Lienzo " (Corporation for the Revival of the Traditional Cotton Textiles).
