    Dear Ann, Peter, Scott and RC05 colleagues,
Thanks for the enclosed information.
>From the ethnic fringes of the territorial margins in the neocolonial
global apartheid-like (dis)order, much is happening in Peru right now
concerning the fate of Indigenous Peoples and the Andean Peasant
Communities, who are confronting the encroachment of open pit mining and
extractivism linked to world and national (internal colonial) neoliberal
policies...
Ilustrated by the dramatic fact that about 250 estimated conflicts between
Indigenous Peoples and Peasant Communities are identified - and are mostly
related to water, environmental and climatic change (crisis) in their
ancestral territories...
Several such mining companies are registered as "canadian" companies due to
the fact that about 80-90% of exploring "rights" are based in Toronto with
the blessing of the conservative canadian government.
Up to 85% of certain territorial district areas, like in Celendin,
Cajamarca, in the North - where the emblematic Peoples` struggle against
Yanacocha and Newmont mining companies (Conga no Va!), are nowadays claimed
by such mining interests, with increasing investment and territorial
grabbing even by chinese greedy companies.
Even in Sweden, that is the case with a "canadian-registered" mining
company exploring in Saami territory with the blessings of the equally
conservative swedish coalition.
Any chance for our public voice of concern expressed to world public
opinion as RC05 - vis a vis such a destructive territorial disposession,
and corresponding forced emigration of peasants to over crowded cities like
Lima, without forgetting the damage inflicted to water, ethno-cultural and
bio-diversity?
Abrazos from Lima

    Thread Outline:

  • Fwd: [rc05] information about World Congress funding from ISA and from RC05

    from Azril Bacal on Dec 13, 2013 11:30 PM 
    Estimad@s compañer@s,
Se ha logrado algo increible en la historia del comite de investigacion
(RC) 05 sobre
"Ethnic and Racial Relations" (Relaciones Etnicas y Raciales) de la
Asociacion Internacional de Sociologia
- al cual pertenezco desde 1978:
Brevemente, estan dispuestos, me piden publicar y esperan ASAP
un articulo en ingles de 2 paginas en el RC-05 Newsletter - que luego
podriamos traducir y difundir en nuestro idioma.
sobre el tema del impacto destructivo de la gran mineria para las
comunidades campesinas y los pueblos indigenas.
Al respecto, les propongo constituir un grupo de trabajo con la mayor
rapidez posible y juntos redactar este articulo.
Nos damos como plazo hasta la proxima semana.
Ya hable con Carlos al respecto y esta de acuerdo con esta propuesta.
Espero vuestra confirmacion ASAP.
Fraternalmente
Azril

Hola Azril,

this is all very troubling!

Georgina and I have to pull together our RC05 Newsletter soon: would it be
possible for you to write a 2 pager or so about the situation in Peru and
the mining industry ( just as you just did in this email conversation) and
send it to me or Georgina by next week? That would be great!

Looking forward to seeing you again in Yokohama next year; best wishes from
England, Ulrike

PS Thinking of the miners in South Africa and elsewhere, we might want to
put this issue a bit further.
