Gold surprises us
No full textGold is the cornerstone of Suriname's economy, attracting many Brazilian migrants who seek to improve their lives. Building on a friendship spanning over fifteen years, miner Pretinha and anthropologist Marjo embarked on a collaborative film project focusing on gold lifeways. The film delves into the miners' experiences, highlighting the quest for stability, legal insecurity and complex gender dynamics. Under the direction of Júlia Morim and Marjo de Theije, the filming took place in July 2022, at a gold mine in the Brokopondo region and in Suriname's capital, Paramaribo. Gold Surprises Us explores the miners' relationships with the environment and the future of their communities. By portraying the perspective of the gold miners, challenging common stereotypes of them as Amazonian bandits, this collaboration aims to humanise them and to make discussions about environmental sustainability more inclusive
Corporate and migrant investment in a gold-mining development corridor: The case of Suriname
No full textMarjo de Theije focuses on the link between local development (in Suriname) and the Brazilian-driven business of gold-mining showing the multiple controversies in the meaning of ‘local’ development. The extraction of gold can take diverse shapes, from large scale mines operated by multinational companies, to junior corporations that focus on the exploration of mineral resources, to a variety of small scale and artisanal gold mining activities. In some cases, these different modalities of gold mining co-exist in complementarity, while in other contexts they clash and enter in long-lasting conflicts. In the gold mining literature, scholars have underscored the relationships between different organizational forms of extraction and how these are connected to the socio-political environment and the geology of deposits). In the 21st century, the rising price of gold has caused a massive expansion of mining and concomitant flows of workers and knowledge all over the globe. Large mining companies are present in different countries, and their skilled labor force travels between the operations. Small scale gold mining brings many more miners on the move, typically of unskilled workers who live in poverty and have few other opportunities to improve their economic situation. This flow of labor has significant translocal economic, social and environmental effects.</p
