  • The Nexus of Illegal Gold Mining Supply Chains Lessons from Latin America GOLD PRODUCTION Gold Is an Extremely Scarce Commodity
    The Nexus of Illegal Gold Mining Supply Chains Lessons from Latin America GOLD PRODUCTION Gold is an extremely scarce commodity. The amount of gold swimming pools,1 and almost three-quarters of all of the world’s gold deposits have already been exhausted.2 Due to increasing the world now consumes more gold than ever before, leading to the production of 3,000 tons of gold per year, twice what was produced in 1970. The diminishing supply and increasing demand, combined with criminal and armed groups’ quest for new sources of illicit revenue, has contributed to a surge in illegal extraction of gold from increasingly remote and lawless regions.3 Introduction In-depth research carried out by Verité has found that Latin American countries export reputational risks for major companies with gold in their supply chains. The Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime, with which Verité has been closely collaborating, recently released an in-depth report thoroughly documenting the close link between illegal gold mining and organized crime, which fuels violence, environmental damage, corruption, money Verité publications include a research report focusing on illegal gold mining in Colombia and Latin American countries, a white paper with detailed recommendations for companies and along with Canada other stakeholders to ensure that illegally mined gold does not (which is a major conduit enter into company supply chains and the vaults of central banks. for Latin American gold), constitute all top ten exporters of gold to the research carried out by Verité in Peru in 2012-2013 and in Colombia United States. in 2015, and desk research carried out across the Latin American region.

  • Transnational Habitus: Mariem Hassan As the Transcultural Representation of the Relationship Between Saharaui Music and Nubenegra Records
    Transnational Habitus: Mariem Hassan as the transcultural representation of the relationship between Saharaui music and Nubenegra records Luis Gimenez Amoros Submitted in partial fullfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Rhodes University PhD (thesis) Department of Music and Musicology Supervisor: Dr Lee Watkins I Abstract This thesis expands on primary field research conducted for my MMus degree. Undertaken in the Saharaui refugee camps of southern Algeria (2004-2005) that research - based on ethnographic data and the analysis of Saharaui music, known as Haul 1- focussed on the musical system, the social context of musical performance and the music culture in Saharaui refugee camps. This doctoral research examines Saharaui Haul music as practised in Spain and is particularly focussed on its entry, since 1998, into the global market by way of the World Music label, Nubenegra records. The encounter between Saharaui musicians and Nubenegra records has created a new type of Saharaui Haul which is different to that played in the refugee camps. This phenomenon has emerged as a result of western music producers compelling Saharaui musicians to introduce musical changes so that both parties may be considered as musical agents occupying different positions on a continuum of tradition and change. Nubenegra undertook the commodification of Saharaui music and disseminated it from the camps to the rest of the world. A musical and social analysis of the relationship between Nubenegra and Saharaui musicians living in Spain will form the basis of the research in this thesis. In particular, Mariem Hassan is an example of a musician who had her music disseminated through the relationship with Nubenegra and she is promoted as the music ambassador of the Western Sahara.
