Abstract

DUA¡REZ MENDOZA, Jorge Luis. Mining expansion and politicization of ethnic identities (2002 - 2012): The cases of Abra Pampa (Jujuy-Argentina) and Espinar (Cusco-Peru). Andes [online]. 2020, vol.31, n.2, pp.00-00. ISSN 1668-8090.

This paper analyses the meanings that guided the collective actions that different social organizations and public authorities from the Andean locations of Abra Pampa and Espinar did to cope with the unprecedented large-scale mining boom during the period 2002-2012. We argue that theses senses influenced in the politicization of ethnic identities and in the characteristics assumed by the social conflicts caused by the mining expansion.

Keywords : Ethnic identities; Politicization; Abra Pampa; Espinar; Large-scale mining.
