Bram Acosta Talk “Mapping La Bestia: Migrancy, Posthegemony, and Primitive Accumulation.” 

BRAM ACOSTA AT UBC

Hi everyone, thanks for coming and participating in the Public Talk and Workshop with Professor Abraham Acosta last week. We had a rich and stimulating discussion about important if perhaps under-studied events. We recorded the Public Talk for those who could not make it.

Talk given for the University of British Columbia working group on “Latin America and the Global,” at the Liu Institute for Global Issues. September 14th, 2017.

We apologize that the first minute or two of the talk did not get recorded.

Stay tune for more events this and next term.
