En esta investigación examinamos el aprovisionamiento desde una perspectiva de género en una comunidad colombiana afrodescendiente como un caso de estudio de "soberanía alimentaria desde el territorio". Encontramos que las prácticas cotidianas de aprovisionamiento de las mujeres sostienen los hogares, mantienen las relaciones socioculturales y ecológicas y permiten una mayor autosuficiencia en el contexto de procesos de integración económica al mercado. Aproximarse al aprovisionamiento desde una perspectiva de género deja entrever las complejidades, relaciones de poder y desafíos que subyacen a estos sistemas alimentarios locales. Indagar sobre esta dimensión frecuentemente ignorada puede contribuir a identificar y c...

This chapter provides a conceptual foundation for understanding one particular community response that emerges from local cultural and collective action. ‘Community-based enterprise’ (CBE) is the vehicle in which the community creates an entity that constitutes the community as both an entrepreneur and an enterprise addressing economic, social and environmental challenges holistically. We define ‘CBE’, as a community acting corporately as both entrepreneur and enterprise in pursuit of community common good. This form of enterprise departs from traditional models of entrepreneur in which the agent is an individual or a group of individuals. The basis for this chapter begins in communities in the global south, but extends to communities in the global north. It examines the social, environmental, economic and/or political conditions associated with the emergence of CBEs. It also points out the role that collective action, forms of social capital and size play in its creation. We consider also their typical characteristics such as rootedness in available community skills, multiplicity of goals as well as prevailing community participation and governance structures. The effects of CBEs on fostering entrepreneurship within communities as well as similar developments in neighbouring communities are outlined as well. We discuss challenges to CBE in the form of balancing individual and collective outcomes, of reconciling social, economic and environmental goals and withstanding the pressures of globalization and generational change. We conclude by outlining a future research agenda.

EvansSonia OspinaDeidre Tedmanson Individually, panel members will each contribute insights from their unique and diverse experiences of engaged research journeys that have challenged established hierarchies of privilege. Together this group will construct an embodied space to dialogue with each other, speaking back to the field about the complexity of navigating management research and business education from an Indigenous worldview and/or standpoint (Fitzgerald, 2010; Foley, 2008; Moreton-Robinson, 2003). Each scholar brings an academic, intellectual rigor and a cultural, embodied authority to the symposium. However, it is in relationship with each other from which they will build a 'space of belonging' and demonstrate through their discursive engagement the creation of a community (Spiller, Erakovic, Henare & Pio, 2011; Evans, 2012). Management research and business education is largely bound by western organisational discourses. With some notable exceptions (for example Banerjee, 2011; Peredo & Chrisman, 2006), the Academy of Management has published few scholarly contributions that focus on Indigenous perspectives, leaving these perspectives on the periphery. The purpose of this symposium is to call into question the hegemonic performativity of conventional business/management discourses by opening up a space for Indigenous subjectivities (Peredo, Montgomery & Carlson, 2012). Further, and in response to the All Academy theme, the participants will address the contradictions and tensions inherent in classic assumptions that underpin the idealisation of continual economic (capitalist) growth, ways of conceiving social transformation that reproduce existing relations and the assumed role of human beings as 'homo-economicus' (Tedmanson, Verduyn, Essers & Gartner, 2012). This symposium brings together established and emerging scholars from across the globe who focus on Indigenous perspectives. This can mean bringing an Indigenous perspective to research (for Indigenous scholars Peredo and Evans),

Less visible are the grassroots, organizational initiatives based on reciprocity that emerged across the region in response to the health crisis and in the context of national lockdowns. The pandemic has deepened the danger of famine among the most vulnerable in rural and urban areas. In response, grassroots organizations using reciprocal practices are mobilizing resources to provide food and to prevent and manage the disease. We ask two questions: What reciprocity-based practices are grassroots organizations in the Andes able to marshal in support of basic provisioning during the COVID-19 pandemic? And what is the potential of these practices to shape alternatives to development post-COVID-19? We analyze reciprocity practices as hybrid spaces that combine Andean worldviews, market and non-market motivations and political claims against the state. Based on the case studies of the Cauca Regional Indigenous Council in Colombia (CRIC) and The National Campesino Movement (FECAOL) in Ecuador, this paper develops three arguments. First, as a socio-natural actor, the pandemic forces Andean communities and their organizations to coordinate their efforts to mantain life. Second, the COVID-19 pandemic catalyzes long-standing recognition of grassroots processes and claims in the Colombian and Ecuadorian Andes. The revitalization by the CRIC of reciprocity-based practices such as barters and local markets strongly links self-provisioning with the mobilization of its Indigenous identity and struggles for autonomy. These practices also forge a horizontal ‘solidarity’ with other social movements, consolidating a common framework of self-protection against the neoliberal state. For example, FECAOL does politics and builds coalitions through reciprocity-based action as an expression of its desire to engage with the state at different scales. Fair markets and agroecological baskets are combined with barter and gifts to provide for populations in need and to shift oppressive power-relations in the agro-chain and towards a holistic, bottom-up construction of the ‘public’ to address societal needs. Finally, studied grassroots organizations build coalitions and present their visions of a diverse or mixed economy to the society at large to erode the dominance of capitalism. To become a ‘counter-movement’ post-COVID-19, we conclude, they need to scale up to broader levels of society.

Management scholars have not been encouraged to address the role that business, as we conduct it and consider it as scholars, has played in creating the crises and fostering the injustices our crises are laying bare. Contributors to this article draw attention to the way that the pandemic has highlighted long-standing examples of injustice, from inequality to racism, gender, and social discrimination through environmental injustice to migratory workers and modern slaves. They consider the fact that few management scholars have raised their voices in protest, at least partly because of the ideological underpinnings of the discipline, and the fact these need to be challenged.

We research ethnic minority co-operatives in Canada, a subject that has received very little research to date. Investigating ethnic minority co-ops can contribute to rethinking how co-operatives impact the economic, cultural, social and political life of Canadian communities. Our three current Case Studies look at the racial exclusion and marginalization underlying the development of Japanese Canadian Fishing Co-operatives, Japanese Canadian Farming Co-operatives, and the Strathcona Housing Co-operatives. Co-ops are often portrayed in competing and complex ways. On the one hand, co-operatives are depicted as democratic, anti-corporate, community-oriented, an innovative engine for local economic development, and a powerful local -global movement. On the other hand, they are also perceived as corporatized, self-interested, parochial, and/or outdated. Despite their different emphas...
