The Invisibilization of Death
Executive Summary Irregular migration at the Canada-US border, along with associated dangers, has received increased attention since the implementation of the Canada-US Safe Third Country Agreement . Reports by non-governmental organizations highlight the lethality of irregular migration at this border. Nevertheless, not only do reports fail to provide estimates of migrant fatalities, but there are also no official data sources on deaths produced…
Sexual violence and extraction
Gender-based and sexual violence permeates resource extraction. This violence operates in many forms and spheres, both public and private. Focusing on a case of overt, public violence, we ask, what is productive about gender-based and sexual violence for mining corporations? In the context of commitments to social responsibility and the gender impacts of mining, what can explain corporate engagement with acts of extreme violence that publicly und…
The Situation Will Most Likely Turn Ugly”
This paper offers a window into the terrain of corporate influence over violence in the mining industry. The research draws on over 300 pages of internal communications and other corpo-rate documents, which were produced by Vancouver-based Skye Resources and released pub-licly as an affidavit in a civil court case in Ontario, Canada. The documents demonstrate the roles of mining company executives and their collaborators in coordinating events th…
Environmental conflict and the expansion of renewable energy in Central America
As capacity to generate and distribute renewable energy expands across Central America, environmental conflict is on the rise, with communities confronting dispossession of water and territory. Renewable energy holds a central position within the extractivist economic model in the region, but little is known about the involvement of Canada in Central American renewable energy sectors. This paper addresses that gap by asking what role Canada plays…

This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in the Canadian Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Studies 46(1), 121-145 (2021), available at: https://doi.org/10.1080/08263663.2021.1855892
Organized Violence
Official stories from media centers in New York and Mexico City say that most violence in Latin America is a product of the drug trade. Organized Violence exposes how that narrative serves corporate and state interests and de-politicizes situations that have more to do with coal, oil, or rare wood extraction than with cocaine. Global capital and violence reinforce conditions that fortify the current economic order, and whether it be the military,…
In Guatemala, Security Forces Square Off Against Social Movements
Though its genocidal armed conflict ended over two decades ago, the Guatemalan state has continued to wage war on opponents of large-scale economic projects. In a series of moves that could help cl
The Guatemalan Campesino Movement and the Postconflict Neoliberal State
The Guatemalan peace process helped to shape both the form of state that emerged following armed conflict and the constraints and opportunities faced by contemporary social movements. Despite the reconfiguration of power by Guatemalan elites through peace negotiation and accord-based reforms, social movements have harnessed neoliberal projects to strengthen grassroots resistance and alternative-building. An overview of the campesino movement and …
Between the bullet and the bank
In the midst of neoliberal restructuring and a project of market-led agrarian reform (MLAR), Guatemalan rural communities and peasant organizations have fought to access, reclaim, or hold onto communal land through direct action. This essay explores the dynamics of organized agrarian struggle in contemporary Guatemala, arguing that three forms of organizing that have been labeled officially as 'agrarian conflicts' - historical land claims, rural …
