Becoming Heritage
Since the late twentieth century, multicultural reforms to benefit minorities have swept through Latin America, however, in Colombia ethno-racial inequality remains rife. Becoming Heritage evaluates how heritage policies affected the Afro-Colombian community of San Basilio de Palenque after it was proclaimed by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2005. Although the designation partially delivered on its promise of multicultural inclusion, it also created ethno-racial exclusion and conflict among groups within the Palenquero community. The new forms of power, knowledge, skills and values created to safeguard heritage exacerbated political, social, symbolic and economic inequalities among Palenqueros, and did little to ameliorate the harsh realities of living and dying in Palenque. Bringing together broader discussions on race, nation and inclusion in Colombia, Becoming Heritage reveals that inequality in Palenque is not only a result of Black Colombians' uneven access to resources; it is enforced through heritage politics, expertise and governance.
Counter-Cola
Counter-Cola charts the history of one of the world’s most influential and widely known corporations, the Coca-Cola Company. It tells the story of how, over the past 130 years, the corporation has tried to make its products and brands physically and culturally a central part of global daily life in over 200 countries. Through this story of Coca-Cola, Amanda Ciafone reveals the pursuit of corporate power within the key economic transformations—liberal, developmentalist, neoliberal—of the 20th and 21st centuries. A story of global capitalism, it is not without contest. People throughout the world have redeployed the corporation, its commodities, and brand images to challenge the injustices of daily life under capitalism. As Ciafone shows, assertions of national economic interests, critiques of cultural homogenization, fights for workers’ rights, movements for environmental justice, and debates over public health have obliged the corporation to justify itself in terms of the common good, demonstrating capitalism’s imperative to assimilate critiques or reveal its limits.
Sorting Out the Mixed Economy
The untold story of how welfare and development programs in the United States and Latin America produced the instruments of their own destruction In the years after 1945, a flood of U.S. advisors swept into Latin America with dreams of building a new economic order and lifting the Third World out of poverty. These businessmen, economists, community workers, and architects went south with the gospel of the New Deal on their lips, but Latin American realities soon revealed unexpected possibilities within the New Deal itself. In Colombia, Latin Americans and U.S. advisors ended up decentralizing the state, privatizing public functions, and launching austere social welfare programs. By the 1960s...

Changing Labour Relations in Latin America
The position of waged labour and trade unions in Latin America has been affected by three major trends since 1980, namely liberalization of the market, democratization of the state, and informalization of poverty. the late eighties also witnessed the effects of crisis and adjustment which have posed a set of dilemmas for the trade union movement. These dilemmas have their origins in the profound changes in the composition of the labour force. In Colombia and Peru the first experiments in uneasy integrations of the unions of informal workers have only started recently, including the "madres comunitarias" in Bogota and Medellin, and the street sellers in Lima. the present study, based on a policy evaluation of the development efforts of FNV, ICFTV, and ORIT, focuses on the possibilities of new policy issues, on strategic alliances with new actors in Latin America's economy and society, and on the definition of the position of organized labour. Should it continue to defend the vested interests of a seemingly shrinking labour aristocracy, or should it act as the spokesman of the masses of the poor, the underprivileged and the marginalized?
