  • 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.

  • Americasbarometer Insights: 2013 Number 86
    AmericasBarometer Insights: 2013 Number 86 Inequality Matters: The Role of Education in Defining Social Class in Colombia vs. Uruguay By María José Álvarez-Rivadulla and Rosario Queirolo [email protected] and [email protected] Universidad del Rosario (Colombia) and Universidad de Montevideo Executive Summary. Despite the high levels of inequality in Latin America, we know very little about how citizens perceive themselves in terms of social class. Using a question on subjective social class included in the AmericasBarometer 2012, this Insights report compares two countries that represent opposites in the regional distribution of inequality: the more egalitarian Uruguay and one of the most unequal countries in the world, Colombia. We explore how Colombians and Uruguayans identify on the social ladder and the determinants of this perception. As expected, we find that those who are wealthier and more educated place themselves in higher classes. Yet, the role of education varies. It is more relevant in Colombia than in Uruguay, where access to education is more equal. Moreover, ascribed factors such as a darker skin color and living in a rural area are related to lower class self identification in the more unequal Colombia, but not in Uruguay. Finally, we present evidence that other perceptions such as the evaluation of one’s current and past personal economic situations or general life satisfaction are as important as more objective measures of well-being in determining class perceptions in these two countries. The Insights Series is co-edited by Jonathan Hiskey, Mitchell A. Seligson, and Elizabeth J. Zechmeister with administrative, technical, and intellectual support from the LAPOP group at Vanderbilt.

Las tesis tratan, en su totalidad o en parte sustancial, sobre temas de política colombiana, entendiendo esta en un sen­ tido amplio (Gobierno, partidos, elecciones, militares, grupos de presión, etc.).

En el caso de la gran mayoría de estas tesis, no conocer­ se de copia alguna disponible que pueda ser consultada en el país por los investigadores interesados en hacerlo. Más de un 90 % de las tesis incluídas en este paquete han sido presentadas en universidades de los Estados Unidos. Este fuerte sesgo a favor de las tesis estadounidenses se debe a dos circunstancias. Primera, y sobre todo, a que en ningún otro país se han realizado tantos estudios académicos sobre la política colombiana como en la nación mencionada. Segunda, a que es mucho más fácil identificar las tesis producidas sobre política colombiana y obtener una copia de las mismas en los Estados Unidos que en otros países. Por ejemplo, además de las aquí incluidas, se pudieron identificar otras catorce tesis similares a ellas y presentadas en universidades de Francia, Inglaterra o - 192 - Digitalizado por la Biblioteca Luis Ángel Arango del Banco de la República, Colombia.

There [South Florida], I was nobody.” Colombian Migrant (quoted in Robles, 2003) Introduction The Economist (2002) characterizes the late 1990s and early 2000s wave of migration from Latin America as a “hemorrhage.” Unlike previous periods of Latin American migration consisting mainly of working-class persons in search of economic opportunities, this latest wave of migration by middle and upper-middle class is draining the region of many of its most educated and talented citizens. Colombia presents a classic case of economic, political, and social turmoil in Latin America where a middle and upper-middle class “brain drain” took place in the period 1996-2002.
