Download or read book Cauca s Indigenous Movement in Southwestern Colombia written by Brett Troyan and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2015-06-10 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cauca's Indigenous Movement in Southwestern Colombia: Land, Violence, and Ethnic Identity provides a vivid account of how the indigenous communities of Cauca in southwestern Colombia engaged with the Colombian central state. Troyan begins with the question of how 3.4 percent of the Colombian population obtained legal rights to close to a quarter of the national territory. Her in-depth study of the correspondence between the central state and indigenous communities of Cauca reveals that the nation state played a key role in the legitimization of land claims based on ethnic identity. Starting with the indigenous movement led by Manuel Quintín Lame in 1914, this book shows how, in contrast to the local authorities of Cauca, the central state adopted a more sympathetic albeit contradictory approach to indigenous communities’ grievances throughout the twentieth century. Land, Violence, and Cauca's Indigenous Movement in Southwestern Colombia presents an examination of state initiatives in the 1930s, 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s toward indigenous communities in Cauca, whichsheds light on the political and social construction of Colombian indigenous identity. Troyan also reveals how violence and the representation of violence shaped the conversations between the central state and indigenous communities of Cauca; the central state’s inability to exert a monopoly on violence, Troyan argues, places indigenous communities and their leaders in jeopardy despite the discursive legitimization of land claims based on ethnic identity.

Download or read book World TB Day 2023 Yes We can end TB written by Hai-Feng Pan and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-10-21 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World tuberculosis day takes place on the 24th of March, commemorating the date Robert Koch announced he had discovered TB bacillus, the bacterium causing tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is still a widespread epidemic in various parts of the world, leading to over one and a half million worldwide annual deaths, which disproportionally affects developing countries. The COVID-19 pandemic shifted countries’ focus away from tuberculosis, putting the goals of the End TB project at risk. The World Tuberculosis Day 2023 focuses on boosting awareness, hoping to increase public and political involvement —which will be crucial for the UN High-level meeting on TB in September 2023. Political will is needed to increase financial investment in current TB programs, as well as to improve the research and development of strategies to improve TB prevention (such as the development of a new TB vaccine), TB diagnosis (such as improving the speed and efficiency of current molecular diagnostic tests), and TB treatment (such as finding shorter and more efficient treatments). It is in this spirit that Frontiers is launching a new article collection to coincide with this UN day. This occasion not only offers an opportunity to raise the visibility of tuberculosis but also to consider solutions to this ongoing epidemic.

Download or read book Indigenous Responses to Mining in Post Conflict Colombia written by Diana Carolina Arbeláez Ruiz and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-09-13 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines Indigenous responses to mining and their connection to peacebuilding, focusing on the experience of the Nasa Indigenous people of North Cauca during the most recent Colombian post-agreement transition. Amid an armed conflict that has disproportionally affected and targeted the Nasa, as well as ongoing processes of dispossession and oppression, the Nasa have built a tradition of organised, peaceful resistance. This book examines the nature of their responses to mining and how this is linked to peacebuilding, with a focus on how resistance is shaped and enacted to respond to the relationship mineral extraction has with violence and peace. The work is exploratory, ethnographic and interdisciplinary in nature, sitting in the intersection between the anthropology of mining, development studies and peace and conflict studies. The author presents and analyses narratives, participant responses, and her own experiences to illustrate the context and interconnected processes shaping Nasa responses to mining during this transition period. The book will bring international readers closer to these intricate dynamics, where access is otherwise limited because of security, cultural, linguistic and other barriers. The book provides a novel perspective on post-conflict mining governance by focusing on the Nasa’s active role in responding to mining in a post-agreement, transitional context. It highlights, and encourages engagement with, the often-overlooked role of morality in debates about nature and development. This book will be of great interest to students, scholars and practitioners of the extractive industries, natural resource management, conflict management and peacebuilding, Indigenous Peoples and Latin American studies.
