  • Constructing and Transgressing Borders Images of Self and Other in the History of the Americas
    Rev16-01 23/11/04 11:54 Página 107 Stefan Rinke* ➲ Constructing and Transgressing Borders Images of Self and Other in the History of the Americas A border usually signifies a line that separates one country or territorial area from another. In a cultural sense a border also represents difference and constitutes otherness as well as identity. In the case of borders between states, the use of national symbols such as flags and anthems reinforce the concept of otherness. Borders, in this sense, are symbols of power. Yet they also mark out a space between territories, a space where foreigners encounter each other. Thus they establish links and facilitate contacts that are not always under the control of existing power structures. Borders are not only dividing lines between two or more contingent systems, but also contact zones where encounters and exchange become possible.1 This article will focus on cognitive and mental borders that find expression in per- ceptions of the foreign other.2 Perceptions and mental images demonstrate the exchange function of borders. Borders – whether political or cultural – are constructed on the basis of concepts of alterity. For historians of Latin America, the main pole of alterity has been Europe; historians have traditionally concentrated on processes of perception in relation to the “Old World”.3 From a European perspective, America – at the point of its discovery – constituted a monolithic “New World”. Only in the course of the colonial period did a terminological differentiation of the Americas emerge. Since the nineteenth century the emergence of categories such as “North” and “South” or “Anglo” and “Latin” has often concealed the differences between the many Americas.

  • Introduction Remapping Bolivia
    Remapping Bolivia Introduction New Cartographies of 1 Knowledge and Struggle Bret Gustafson and Nicole Fabricant The election of Evo Morales to the presidency of Bolivia in 2005 was a crit- ical and historic moment of political and cultural transformation in the country. At the head of a party called the Movement to Socialism (Movimiento al Socialismo, MAS), Morales, coca farmer, peasant union leader, and Aymara Bolivian, became the first indigenous president of the country.1 By sociohistorical (rather than biological) criteria, he is the first indigenous president in the history of the Americas. But Morales did not emerge from an “ethnic” movement. Backed by lower- and middle-class left- ist, nationalist, indigenous, and labor organizations, Morales led a broad- based democratic challenge to a political system long dominated by entrenched elite parties. His election brought to an end two decades of free- market or “neoliberal” economic policies that had privatized state indus- tries, deregulated production, increased labor flexibility, and encouraged foreign investment in natural resource extraction and exportation. After neoliberalism, the indigenous- and social movement–led rise of Morales is yielding a deep rethinking and remapping of Bolivia into what is being called a “plurinational” state. www.sarpress.sarweb.org 1 These emerging changes create new expectations for Bolivian social movements and new analytical challenges for researchers. The free-market era had seen an official turn toward interculturalism as a strategy for “including” the country’s long subordinated indigenous majority. As many analysts noted, interculturalism across the Americas was a social movement demand that was instrumental in making claims for human, cultural, and indigenous rights (Gustafson 2002; Postero 2006; Rappaport 2005; Sieder 2002; Warren 1998; Warren and Jackson 2002).

Since Iraq was first allowed to resume oil sales nearly two decades ago it has paid funds into a United Nations body overseeing compensation for looting and damage inflicted during Saddam Hussein’s seven- month occupation of Kuwait. More than a million claimants have been paid and nearly all the $52.4 billion reparations bill has been met through Iraq’s annual allocation of 5 percent of crude oil exports to the UN Compensation Commission (UNCC). But with its economy now set to shrink for the first time since the 2003 US-led invasion toppled Saddam and end- ed more than a decade of sanctions, Iraq can ill afford to divert a large chunk of the 2015 budget to make that last payment due next year. “We have been really committed to paying this on time up until now,” Zebari said in a telephone interview conducted on Thursday. “We are in discussions with the Kuwaitis, trying to defer the payment for two years or at least a year, to allow some space..
