Blumer Room - 402 Social Sciences Building
  Abstract: The Colombian village of Briceño might, at first glimpse, look like many communities in therural Global South. Many of the people living there rely on small-scale farming, even as pricesand profits are increasingly squeezed by free trade and corporate agriculture. Yet after decadeswhere Briceño suffered from a bloody conflict, the village has more recently become central tothe nation’s hopes for peace. In Governing the Excluded (University of Chicago Press, 2026),sociologist Alex Diamond shares a closer look at Briceño and offers unique insight into how thestruggles of people across the Global South to maintain rural livelihoods amid economicdispossession affect struggles over local authority.
