Carleton University Gold in the Chocó, Colombia a Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research In Carleton University Gold in the Chocó, Colombia A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a degree of Doctorate of Philosophy Anthropology with a Specialization in Political Economy By Daniel Tubb Ottawa, Ontario September, 2014 © 2014 Daniel Tubb Abstract This dissertation undertakes an ethnography of gold in the Chocó department of northwest Colombia. It answers this question: What is gold about if it is not just about gold? The dissertation does not offer one answer, but rather shows various ways to understand gold in the Chocó. It examines artisanal, small-scale, and large-scale gold mining to show gold is part of a fixed subsistence livelihood economy, a hustle—or rebusque—economy, and economic fictions on the frontier through money laundering and speculation via small-scale, and, tentatively, large-scale gold mining. Gold is the thread that connects the dissertation’s discussion of artisanal mining and the subsistence livelihood practices of rural Afro-descendant people; mine talk and mine practice; the epistemological difficulty and ambiguities of knowing in context of conflict; the hustle of paisas, or white outsiders from other regions of Colombia; migration and displacement to and from the Chocó; frontiers, the state, and collective territory; small-scale gold mining and the hustle; gold and its role in money laundering; multinational mining corporations on collective territories; Afro-descendant organizations and the process of prior consultation; speculation and money laundering; and the political and environmental effects of small-scale and artisanal mining for Afro-descendant communities. The dissertation explores gold from its material extraction in mining to its connections with different economies. Eighteen months of ethnographic fieldwork, gold mining apprenticeship, and investigative analysis constitute the dissertation’s methods. i Acknowledgments While acknowledging and thanking everyone who helped me in writing this dissertation in a fitting way is impossible, I want to recognize and thank the following people. Where I did fieldwork, I thank those who I have called Antonio, Carlos, Don Alfonso, Esteban, Felipe, Geraldo, Javiar, José, Juan, Luisa, Marco, Martina, Mauricio, Meta, Pedro, Sofía, Ximena, Gabriel, and the dozens of other people who let me learn how to mine.

In Colombia, I thank Dr. Claudia Mosquera at the Universidad Nacional, Dr. Eduardo Restrepo at the Universidad Javariana, Dianne, Cristian, Catalina, Neider, and Sofía. I thank Ximena Gonzales, Johana Rocha, Andrea Torres, and Elisabet Pèriz at the Centre de Estudios para la Justicia Social - Tierra Digna.

A recent wave of North American, European, and Latin American scholars has begun to look at Afro-Latin American social movements in more innovative ways. However, English-language scholarship on Afro-Latin America rarely explores Afro- descendants in Venezuela.

  • Crafting Colombianidad: Race, Citizenship and the Localization of Policy in Philadelphia
    CRAFTING COLOMBIANIDAD: RACE, CITIZENSHIP AND THE LOCALIZATION OF POLICY IN PHILADELPHIA A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Diane R. Garbow July 2016 Examining Committee Members: Judith Goode, Advisory Chair, Department of Anthropology Naomi Schiller, Department of Anthropology Melissa Gilbert, Department of Geography and Urban Studies Ana Y. Ramos-Zayas, External Member, City University of New York © Copyright 2016 by Diane R. Garbow All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT In contrast to the municipalities across the United States that restrict migration and criminalize the presence of immigrants, Philadelphia is actively seeking to attract immigrants as a strategy to reverse the city’s limited economic and political importance caused by decades of deindustrialization and population loss. In 2010, the population of Philadelphia increased for the first time in six decades. This achievement, widely celebrated by the local government and in the press, was only made possible through increased immigration. This dissertation examines how efforts to attract migrants, through the creation of localized policy and institutions that facilitate incorporation, transform assertions of citizenship and the dynamics of race for Colombian migrants. The purpose of this research is to analyze how Colombians’ articulations of citizenship, and the ways they extend beyond juridical and legal rights, are enabled and constrained under new regimes of localized policy. In the dissertation, I examine citizenship as a set of performances and practices that occur in quotidian tasks that seek to establish a sense of belonging. Without a complex understanding of the effects of local migration policy, and how they differ from the effects of federal policy, we fail to grasp how Philadelphia’s promotion of migration has unstable and unequal effects for differentially situated actors.

  • R E P O R T JULY - DECEMBER 2016 Introduction
    M L K R E P O R T JULY - DECEMBER 2016 Introduction The academic and the leadership components for the MLK Jr. Fellowship Program cohort 2014-2016 reached their highest point the second semester of this year. Most fellows achieved a B2 or C1 level according to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) which means that their English language skills are high enough to communicate uently and thus make their curriculum stronger to seek/compete for higher education level opportunities locally and overseas. In regards to the leadership portion, the MLK Fellows had the chance to attend meetings and workshops led by experts that have touched on many interesting and important topics such as volunteerism, social responsibility, gender equality and sexual diversity, among others. Consequently, the MLK fellows have participated in community outreach activities that have solidied their commitment to making a positive impact. In these cases, the fellows have gone to vulnerable communities to give talks and workshops to young people, and they also volunteered to give English language tutoring. 2016 was also the year when the dreams came true for those fellows who had the chance to go overseas to participate in programs such as SUSI or summer camps served by international universities. This report is divided into three sections: the rst one shows the progress made in terms of the academic and leadership components by MLK fellows in each of the cities in Colombia where the program is served: Barranquilla, Cali, Cartagena, Medellín and Quibdó. The second section includes some success stories of MLK students in dierent cities, and the last part provides a conclusion on the status of the fellows at the end of the program countrywide.

  • Narratives of Privilege
    NARRATIVES OF PRIVILEGE An Ethnographic Study of Colombian- Born Women Living in Melbourne, Australia By Viktoria Adler This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Centre for Urban Transitions Faculty of Health, Art & Design Swinburne University of Technology 2019 ABSTRACT This thesis investigates the research question: how do Colombian-born women who identify as white, and middle or upper class, and are therefore privileged in Colombia, experience their privilege living as migrants in Melbourne? I do so by analysing their life story narratives. These narratives show how the women experience privilege as stemming from their belonging to the socially dominant culture, race and class in Colombia, and how their embodied privileges shape their experiences in Australia. My study is ethnographic and involved two years of fieldwork among the Colombian- born community in the inner suburbs of Melbourne. I conducted life story interviews and I carried out participant observation at women’s workplaces, cultural events in Colombian and other Latin American communities, recreational activities, and gatherings with family and friends, as well as by spending time with each of the women on other occasions. Interviews were conducted in English or Spanish, audio- recorded, transcribed and examined using thematic analysis. I conceptualise privilege as the product of intersecting and at times contradictory social locations such as race, ethnicity, gender and class a person occupies in a particular context, in relation to others. I argue that these women have been able to transfer key aspects of their privilege to Australia although they are not white and upper class in an Australian context.
