La justicia moderna/colonial en el Sur-Global Derecho y sistema de justicia ante una minera china en los andes quechuas

On 28 September 2015, violence erupted during a protest against the Las Bambas copper mine in Apurímac, a Quechua region of Peru. Las Bambas' global connections revealed a scenario of colonial power exercised over individuals and groups that do not strictly belong to the Global North, yet are linked to it, by linking Cotabambas and Grau in the Andes with Melbourne in Australia and Beijing in China. Through a brown and decolonial exploration, this book demonstrates how colonial power is manifested in the actors of the Peruvian state justice system who participated in the protest and continued with the fiscal investigations and processes derived from it in the following years. The term 'brown' vindicates an alternative worldview. Rather than falling back into the racialisation of the Other, it is a matter of valuing non-Eurocentric epistemological efforts from a decolonial perspective and qualitative study. The objective is not only to describe and interpret what happened, but also to denounce situations of domination and support the subjects of this research.
