HE inhabitants of the department of Antioquia have played a particular role in Colombia's economic history. During the colonial period, Antioqueno placer miners supplied a substantial portion of New Granada's gold exports; their nineteenth-century descendants pioneered investments in lode mining, colonization, international commerce, banking, stockraising, tobacco, and coffee, while their twentieth-century counterparts initiated the industrialization of their regional capital, Medellin. Numerous theories have been posited to account for this enterprise ranging from ethnic interpretations which see Antioquenfos as descended from Jewish or Basque ancestry, to psychological ones which portray Antioquefios as driven to succeed due to status deprivation, to historical interpretations which emphasize variables including the region's geographical isolation, its mining heritage, or its coffee export economy.1
