Segunda parte de la conversación grabada junto con nuestro invitado de hoy, Rafa Codes dedicado al Galeón de Manila, esa línea marítima marcó un hito en la historia de los intercambios comerciales entre Asia y América durante los siglos XVI, XVII y XVIII. Conectaba el puerto de Acapulco, en Nueva España, con Manila, en las Filipinas, facilitando el intercambio de productos entre el Nuevo Mundo y el Lejano Oriente. A través de esta ruta, la plata, proveniente de las minas del Cerro Rico de Potosí, se intercambiaba por productos asiáticos como seda, especias y porcelana, creando una red comercial que influiría profundamente en la economía global y en la interacción cultural entre dos continentes distantes. La ruta del Galeón de Manila no solo representó un florecimiento económico, sino también un intercambio cultural sin precedentes que dejó una huella perdurable en la historia del comercio mundial. Hablamos de todo ello con el coautor del libro, El Galeón de Manila, Rafa Codes. Música: BSO Los últimos días del Eden de Jerry Goldsmith

Was macht man, wenn der vermeintliche Anakonda-Professor eigentlich nur der Hausmeister ist und die Schlange sich im Schuh des Kameramann verbissen hat?! "Keine Ahnung!!", sagt auch Moderator Beni Weber, der diese Woche in unserem Podcast-Studio vorbeischaut! Zu unserem 25. Geburtstag erinnert er sich mit Sophie an seine Galileo-Vergangenheit. Und die ist echt nichts für schwache Nerven....oder seid ihr schon mal mit einem Floß auf dem Meer abgetrieben - und euer Team kam nicht mehr hinterher? Und für die richtig Retro-Fans hat er auch noch eine Geschichte über seinen fast schon unfreiwilligen Guinness-Rekord dabei...
The arrival of Spanish conquistadors, led by Francisco Pizarro, in the early 16th century marked a significant turning point in Quechua history. Despite initially peaceful interactions, the Spanish quickly exploited political divisions within the Inca Empire and captured the Inca ruler Atahualpa. This event led to the downfall of the empire and the colonization of the region. The Spanish imposed their culture, religion (Christianity), and economic systems on the indigenous populations, resulting in the suppression of traditional practices and exploitation of labor.The Quechua people along with Caribbean's were enslaved and forced to mine Silver from an amazing mountain. A story was told of a devil called El Tío (The Uncle). It is believed in Cerro Rico, Potosí, Bolivia to be the "Lord of the Underworld". There are many statues of this devil-like spirit in the mines of Cerro Rico. El Tío is believed to rule over the mines, simultaneously offering protection and destruction.

La montagne qui dévore les hommes En Bolivie, la ville de Potosí est sortie de terre à l'époque coloniale. Quand les quantités phénoménales extraites des mines d'argent enrichissaient la couronne espagnole, elle fut l'une des cités les plus riches du monde, au prix de la vie de millions d'Indiens. Aujourd'hui, Potosí n'est plus que l'ombre de sa grandeur passée. Mais elle s'agite encore autour de ses marchés et ses messes, de ses matchs de foot et ses concerts de charango. Mais, à plus de 4000 mètres d'altitude, là où l'air et la lumière manquent, j'ai aussi enregistré les sons étouffants des mines d'argent du Cerro Rico. Le sifflement des tuyaux acheminant l'oxygène, les explosions de dynamite, les foreuses électriques et le grondement omniprésent des vieux wagons métalliques. Le quotidien des mineurs est ici d'une rare dureté. Leurs outils sont rudimentaires et, entre risques d'effondrement et air empoisonné au mercure, le danger est permanent. Plongez dans l'enfer du Cerro Rico et dans les rues de Potosí. Découvrez le destin mêlé d'une ville et de ses mines. Écoutez l'histoire tragique de Potosí et de la montagne qui dévore les hommes.

In Bolivia, in a mine that eats people, Cerro Rico, conditions are so unsafe, there is no room for God inside. Instead, mine workers worship an entity known as "El Tio" and leave him offerings to stay safe. San Antonio de Lipez is a former mining town, left abandoned and only spirits are said to remain. We, Cristina & MJ, share these tales, along with a haunted mine in New Jersey and we start the episode with a listener story.

1545: l'amministrazione coloniale spagnola inaugura la miniera di Cerro Rico, nei pressi di Potosi (Bolivia); questa miniera diverrà famosa come una delle più ricche e del mondo e simbolo della sistematica spoliazione delle ricchezze del Sud America ad opera del colonialismo Europeo. Questa data viene da alcuni indicata come simbolico inizio del fenomeno dell'estrattivismo, ovvero di quel modello di economia capitalista basata essenzialmente sull'estrazione aggressiva, sistematica e via via sempre più globalizzata, di ogni possibile fonte di creazione di valore presente sulla terra...

Miners of Cerro Rico in Bolivia have worked for centuries on the threshold of sustainable life. The locals call it the Mountain that Eats Men due to its dangerous conditions. Still, they continue to dig for treasures. They pay their respects to El Tio, Lord of the Underworld, to help them survive. But there are other dark interests in Potosi.

CONCIERTOS RADIALES | ΛΙΘΊΟΝ | GUELY MORATÓ (BOLIVIA) + VÍCTOR MAZÓN (ESPAÑA/BOLIVIA) | CURADO POR SONANDES La performance aborda la dislocación del territorio en tiempo de pandemia, un acercamiento a espacios que en su cotidiano están habitados por el turismo y sus rituales. Se dibuja un paseo por la zona minera de Bolivia, desde las profundidades del Cerro Rico de Potosí -centro minero que por siglos fue saqueado por la corona española- hasta el Salar de Uyuni, una de las reservas de litio más grandes del planeta, que aún vive sin minería a gran escala. Un viaje por el territorio que históricamente conformó la ruta del extractivismo, en un momento en que las fronteras y territorios están cerrados y restringidos al habitual tránsito turístico y la humanidad mira de frente a la era digital. Posteriormente al concierto se realizará una breve entrevista del proyecto PUERTOS, desde el cual se genera este trabajo. Pieza elaborada en sistema ambisonics por encargo para Tsonami 2020.

Interview with Thomas Larsen, CEO of Eloro Resources (TSX-V: ELO).Eloro Resources is a mineral exploration company with assets in Bolivia, Peru and Canada. ISKA ISKA, in Bolivia, is 99%-owned by Eloro and has never been drilled. It is the core focus for the company and is a gold, silver, zinc and lead prospect in the South Mineral Belt. Encouragingly, it is aligned with Cerro Rico along the same corridor structure. La Victoria, a Peruvian gold-silver project, is 82% owned by Eloro. It is in Peru’s North-Central Mineral Belt and is situated in close proximity to gold and silver majors like Pan American Silver and Barrick Gold.La Victoria is being farmed into by an Australian mining company and a 2,000m diamond drilling program is planned with the aim of confirming high-value, high-grade gold-silver veins. Dr. Quinton Hennigh of Novo Resources recently helped the company raise capital to finance this. In terms of an exit, Larsen is pragmatic; he has a track record of taking projects through to a PFS, and he doesn't want to kid anyone into thinking he and his team are necessarily mine builders.Company Page: https://www.elororesources.com/ Explore More Here: cruxinvestor.com Join our Club's waitlist: club.cruxinvestor.comFor FREE unbiased investment information, follow us on Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook:https://twitter.com/cruxinvestor https://www.linkedin.com/company/crux-investor/ https://www.facebook.com/cruxinvestor
In our audio podcast, we have Gerald Horne to talk about the founding of our Nation. He is a professor and the author of countless books including The Counter-Revolution of 1776 and the upcoming The Dawning of the Apocalypse, which is set to be released later this year. In today’s audio episode, Gerald Horne explores the class character of the 1776 revolt, he also brings in vivid details about the geopolitical space during that time that lead to the formation of the country. Gerald Horn also makes a provocative case that 1776 is a counter-revolution. Finally, we connect the events of 1776 to the rest of American history and what it means for us, as a people, for the future.To listen to Gerald Horne’s WBAI appearance, click hereExcerpt from The Dawning of the ApocalypseTHIS IS A BOOK ABOUT the predicates of the rise of England, moving from the periphery to the center (and inferentially, this is a story about their revolting spawn in North America post-1776). This is also a book about the seeds of the apocalypse, which led to the foregoing—slavery, white supremacy, and settler colonialism (and the precursors of capitalism)—planted in the long sixteenth century (roughly 1492 to 1607), which eventuated in what is euphemistically termed “modernity,” a process that reached its apogee in North America, the essential locus of this work. In these pages I seek to explain the global forces that created this catastrophe—notably for Africans and the indigenous of the Americas—and how the minor European archipelago on the fringes of the continent (the British isles) was poised to come from behind, surge ahead, and maneuver adeptly in the potent slipstream created by Spain, Portugal, the Ottomans, even the Dutch and the French, as this long century lurched to a turning point in Jamestown. Although, as noted, I posit that 1492 is the hinge moment in the rise of Western Europe, I also argue in these pages that it is important to sketch the years before this turning point, especially since it was 1453—the Ottoman Turks seizing Constantinople (today’s Istanbul)—that played a critical role in spurring Columbus’s voyage and, of course, there were other trends that led to 1453, and so on, as we march backward in time.In brief, and as shall be outlined, the Ottomans enslaved Africans and Europeans, among others, as contemporary Albania and Bosnia suggest. The Spanish, the other sixteenth-century titan, created an escape hatch by spurring the creation of a “Free African” population, which could be armed. Moreover, for 150 years until the late seventeenth century, thousands of Filipinos were enslaved by Spaniards in Mexico, suggesting an alternative to a bonded labor force comprised of Africans or even indigenes. That is, the substantial reliance on enslaved African labor in North America honed by London was hardly inevitable. Florida’s first slaves came from southern Spain, though admittedly an African population existed in that part of Europe and wound up in North America. Yet at this early juncture, sixteenth-century Spanish law and custom afforded the enslaved rights not systematically enjoyed in what was to become Dixie. Moreover, Spain’s shortage of soldiers and laborers, exacerbated by a fanatical Catholicism that often barred other Europeans under the guise of religiosity—a gambit London did not indulge to the same extent—provided Africans with leverage.However, as time passed, it was London’s model, then accelerated by Washington, that prevailed,: focusing enslavement tightly on Africans and those of even partial African ancestry, then seeking to expel “Free Negroes” to Sierra Leone and Liberia. London and Washington created a broader base for settler colonialism by way of a “white” population, based in the first instance on once warring, then migrant English, Irish, Scots, and Welsh; then expanding to include other European immigrants mobilized to confront the immense challenge delivered by rambunctious and rebellious indigenous Americans and enslaved Africans. This approach over time also allowed Washington to have allies in important nations and even colonies, providing enormous political leverage.This approach also had the added “advantage” of dulling class antagonism among settlers, who, perhaps understandably, were concerned less about the cutthroat competition delivered by an enslaved labor force and more with the real prospect of having their throats cut in the middle of the night by those very same slaves. Among the diverse settlers—Protestant and Jewish; English and Irish et al.—there was a perverse mitosis at play as these fragments cohered into a formidable whole of “whiteness,” then white supremacy, which involved class collaboration of the rankest sort between and among the wealthy and those not so endowed. In a sense, as the Ottomans pressed westward, Madrid and Lisbon began to cross the Atlantic as a countermove by way of retreat or even as a way to gain leverage. But with the “discovery” of the Americas, leading to the ravages of the African slave trade, the Iberians, especially Spain, accumulated sufficient wealth and resources to confront their Islamic foes more effectively.The toxicity of settler colonialism combined with white supremacy not only dulled class antagonism in the colonies. It also solved a domestic problem with the exporting of real and imagined dissidents. In 1549 England was rocked to its foundations by “Kett’s Revolt,” where land was at issue and warehouses were put to the torch and harbors destroyed. A result of this disorienting upheaval, according to one analysis, was to convince the yeomanry to ally with the gentry, a class collaborationist ethos then exported to the settlements. Assuredly, this rebellion shook England to its foundations, forcing the ruling elite to consider alternatives to the status quo, facilitating the thrust across the Atlantic. It is evident that land enclosure in England was tumultuous, making land three times more profitable, as it created disaster for the poorest, providing an incentive for them to try their luck abroad. A plot of land that once employed one or two hundred persons would—after enclosure—serve only the owner and a few shepherds.This vociferation was unbridled as the unsustainability of the status quo became conspicuous. Palace intrigue, a dizzying array of wars, with allies becoming enemies in a blink of an eye, the sapping spread of diseases, mass death as a veritable norm, bloodthirstiness as a way of life—all this and worse became habitual. This convinced many that taking a gamble on pioneering in the Americas was the “least bad” alternative to the status quo. Indeed, the discrediting of the status quo that was feudalism provided favorable conditions for the rise of a new system: capitalism. As I write in 2019, there is much discussion about the purported 400th anniversary of the arrival of Africans in what is now the United States, though Africans enslaved and otherwise were present in northern Florida as early as 1565 or the area due north as early as 1526. As the following paragraphs suggest, this 1619 date is notional at best or, alternatively, seeks to understand the man without understanding the child. In my book on the seventeenth century, noted above, I wrote of the mass enslavement and genocidal impulse that ravaged Africans and indigenous Americans. That book detailed the arrival in full force of the apocalypse; the one at hand limns the precursor: the dawning of this annihilation. The sixteenth century meant the takeoff of the apocalypse, while the following century embodied the boost phase. In brief, this apocalypse spelled the devastation of multiple continents: the Americas, Australia, and Africa not least, all for the ultimate benefit of a relatively tiny elite in London, then Washington. Thus, for reasons that become clearer below, the enslavement of Africans got off to a relatively “slow” start. From 1501 to 1650, a period during which Portuguese elites, at least until about 1620, and then their Dutch peers, held a dominant position in delivering transatlantic imports of captives: 726,000 Africans were dragged to the Americas, essentially to Spanish settlements and Brazil. By way of contrast, from 1650 to 1775, during London’s and Paris’s ascendancy and the concomitant accelerated development of sugar and tobacco, about 4.8 million Africans were brought to the Americas. Then, for the next century or so, until 1866, almost 5.1 million manacled Africans were brought to the region, at a time when the republicans in North America played a preeminent role in this dirty business. Similarly, at the time of the European invasion of the Americas, there were many millions of inhabitants of these continents, but between 1520 and 1620 the Aztecs and Incas, two of the major indigenous groupings, lost about 90 percent of their populations. In short, the late seventeenth century marked the ascendancy of the apocalypse, and the late sixteenth century marked the time when apocalypse was approaching in seven-league boots.18 Yet the holocaust did not conclude in the seventeenth century, as ghastly as it was. The writer Eduardo Galeano argues that in three centuries, beginning in the 1500s, the “Cerro Rico” alone, one region in South America, “consumed eight million lives.” Thus, due north in California, the indigenous population was about 150,000 in 1846 at the onset of the U.S. occupation, but it was a mere 16,000 by 1890,20 a direct result of a policy that one scholar has termed “genocide.”Do you agree that 1776 was a counter revolution?

Eight million me died in the mines of Cerro Rico in Bolivia to bring the incredible amounts of silver and wealth to the world. And one man out-smarted them all!
Dig Deeper There is a great TV series on Amazon Prime, which originally ran on the History Channel, called “Mankind: The History of All of US”. The eighth episode is entitled “Episode 8: Treasure”. It has a wonderful long story about the importance of “Cerro Rico” on worldwide trade and wealth. The link is: https://www.amazon.com/Mankind-Story-All-Us/dp/B07FS4VB8N […]
In 1545, a native Andean prospector hit pay dirt on a desolate red mountain in highland Bolivia. There followed the world's greatest silver bonanza, making the Cerro Rico or "Rich Hill" and the Imperial Villa of Potosí instant legends, famous from Istanbul to Beijing. The Cerro Rico alone provided over half of the world's silver for a century, and even in decline, it remained the single richest source on earth. Potosí: The Silver City That Changed the World(University of California Press, 2019), is the first interpretive history of the fabled mining city's rise and fall. It tells the story of global economic transformation and the environmental and social impact of rampant colonial exploitation from Potosí's startling emergence in the 16th century to its collapse in the 19th. Kris Lane, France V. Scholes Chair in Colonial Latin American History at Tulane University, provides an invigorating narrative and rare details of this thriving city as well as its promise of prosperity. A new world of native workers, market women, African slaves, and other ordinary residents who lived alongside the elite merchants, refinery owners, wealthy widows, and crown officials, emerge in lively, riveting stories from the original sources. An engrossing depiction of excess and devastation, Potosí reveals the relentless human tradition in boom times and bust.

"Cerro Rico", "Reicher Hügel" wird er von den Einheimischen genannt. Der Hügel am Rande der bolivianischen Stadt Potosí ist eigentlich ein 4.782 Meter hoher Berg. Und reich ist er längst nicht mehr.
Ya conocemos el palmarés completo de los Premios Euskadi de Literatura 2017. A los galardonados Fernando Aramburu, Arantxa Urretabizkaia y Asier Serrano se han unido esta semana Leire Bilbao, Ander Izagirre, Mikel Valverde y Matías Múgica. En el periodista donostiarra Ander Izagirre ha recaído el Premio de Ensayo en Castellano por su obra 'Potosí'; un premio "inesperado y emocionante" que pone en valor el relato de la dramática vida de los niños mineros del Cerro Rico a través del día a día de Alicia, una niña minera, y su pequeña historia de miseria y esperanza. En Onda Vasca el periodista ha reconocido que este libro ha sido "un trabajo de años bastante obsesivo, que abandoné y retomé". Encierra una "historia dura, a la que he dedicado tiempo porque quería que importase a más gente". A juicio del tribunal de los Premios Euskadi, “alejado de sentimentalismos y derivas estériles” Izagirre ha dado forma a un libro “de encomiable calidad literaria y que posee la doble virtud de informarnos e interpelarnos”.

El documentalista Raúl de la Fuente nos llevará hasta el Cerro Rico de Potosí para presentarnos “Minerita” el proyecto con el que ha sido nominado a mejor documental de los Goya 2014. Caminaremos por los túneles de esta mina artesanal donde las mujeres deben luchar tanto dentro como fuera contra un duro infierno, el de la violencia, abuso y pobreza que las convierte en auténticas luchadoras con el coraje y dinamita como únicas armas.
El periodista y escritor de literatura de viajes Ander Izagirre nos guía en Piedra de Toque por las minas del Cerro Rico de Bolivia. De allí acaba de regresar por segunda vez. Entre una y otra visita han pasado más de dos años, varios reportajes, un premio y un proyecto de colaboración con una escuela para niños y niñas. El Periodismo a veces regala el privilegio de regresar sobre las historias y Ander lo ha tenido en Bolivia. En este viaje sonoro nos comparte su nuevo descubrimiento: “El verdadero infierno de los mineros no está en las profundidades de las galerías, sino cuando llegan a sus hogares. Allí se viven historias brutales de violencia”. También repasamos a lo largo de la entrevista otro “micro infierno”, el que viven muchas chicas en nuestras propias ciudades. Mejor que lo descubras tú mismo leyendo el artículo que ha Ander en su blog y el que originó la polémica de June Fernández. Más de 30.000 personas ya lo han hecho dejando a su paso una polvareda de comentarios. Una vida con mentalidad de última frontera. “Lo que vi el primer año fue la vida del minero que es un infierno. Para mi sorpresa, el mayor infierno no lo sufren en las minas, sino cuando llegan a casa. Ahí se desarrollan unas historias brutales como nunca antes había oído de violencia y alcoholismo. Muchas de las madres son viudas, los niños viven casi solos ente palizas y agresiones”. Los mineros viven una vida muy peligrosa, con una mentalidad de última frontera en la que se juegan la vida. Sus sueldos son altos en comparación con la media y lo gastan en coches grandes, alcohol y juergas. Después hay muchos casos de violaciones, de palizas... Nos es difícil encontrar a niños que han sufrido todo tipo de vejaciones. No sé cómo no fuimos capaces de darnos cuenta de esta realidad en el primer viaje. Fruto de una historia de saqueos. “Los gobiernos de izquierdas muestran una mayor sensibilidad pero el problema es de fondo. Se entiende en parte por su historia de saqueos. Muchas familias se encuentran al borde del hambre. Sus hijos son la mano de obra barata que necesitan para sobrevivir. Este año he visto que ha bajado el número de niños que trabajan en las minas y que vigilan para que no suceda. Pero esta mejora nada tiene que ver con los políticos que están al mando. Han sido las propias cooperativas de mineros porque no les interesa que se difundan estas realidades. La historia de Abigail y su familia: “Sigue viviendo en unas condiciones horribles: en una chabola de adobe a 4.800 metros de altitud, bebiendo agua contaminada de metales... Pero ella sigue estudiando. Trabaja en las minas de noche para no perder la escuela. Ella quiere llegar a la universidad y lo tiene muy claro. Podemos pensar que el cambio vendrá de la ayuda exterior, pero el verdadero pasa por gente como Abigail, por su coraje y lucha. Historias que impresionan más por la actitud que por el drama. Cualquiera estaría ya paralizado, ellos no: ayudan a su entorno, son líderes escolares, colaboran con sus padres... Viven en una condición dramática pero siguen trabajando. Otros “micro infiernos” que tienen que ver con la falta de respeto con las mujeres, niñas o jóvenes. De lectura obligada “Son unas histéricas” de Ander Izagirre y “Paranoicas” de June Fernández.
“Regresar a las historias es uno de los grandes placeres que pocas veces se conceden en el Periodismo”. Daniel Burgui, periodista y fotógrafo, lo ha conseguido. Dos años después de conocer la situación de los niños y niñas que trabajan en las minas del Cerro Rico de Potosí, Bolivia, ha vuelto. Y no sólo para fotografiarlos, sino para conocer su situación. Lo que iba a ser un reportaje se ha convertido ahora en un compromiso por todos aquellos menores que se juegan la vida en la oscuridad de la mina. Un compromiso que ha dado lugar a la iniciativa Mineritos en apoyo a una escuela con más de 70 menores. Dos años después, han reunido los fondos necesarios para asegurar la comida, estudios y material escolar de 70 niños y niñas. “Fuimos a escribir sobre esa realidad, volvimos con el compromiso de ayudarles”. Viajamos con él a lo largo del verano en Piedra de Toque nada más regresar de allí y justo antes de partir hacia el Cuerno de África dónde ha viajado a conocer la hambruna que asola a 12 millones de habitantes. Ahora quiero compartir el podcast de la entrevista. Y es que como decía Kapuscinsky para ser un buen periodista, antes tienes que ser una buena persona. Dani Burgui, sin duda promete.
