This project supports the dissertation research of a cultural anthropologist from the City University of New York. The project is to study the history of the development of a working class identity among people in Colombia, South America. The site of the project is Puerto Berrio, the site of an important strike by dock-workers in 1945. Using methods of archival research, family life histories and participant observation, the student will trace the development of a class identity among local workers and the role of national institutions such as unions, government agencies and the press in this identity formation. By tracing the effects of types of worker communities (miners, coffee-workers, railroad and dockworkers) on different political consciousness (radical, liberal, conservative), the project will test the hypotheses that prior labor participation in private or public sector work affected the radicalism of the developing worker identity. This research is important because it will advance our historical understanding of the development of worker identity in northern South America. The growth of Communist, Liberal and Conservative party ideologies has been an important part of worker identity in this general region. The advance in our knowledge to be produced by this project will be useful to explain the course of events in similar areas like Nicaragua. In addition this project will add to the nation's trained expertise about this important area of the world.

该项目支持纽约城市大学文化人类学家的论文研究。 该项目旨在研究南美洲哥伦比亚人民工人阶级身份的发展历史。 该项目的地点是贝里奥港，这是 1945 年码头工人一次重要罢工的地点。学生将利用档案研究、家庭生活史和参与观察的方法，追踪当地工人阶级认同的发展以及工人阶级的发展。工会、政府机构和新闻界等国家机构在这种身份形成中的作用。 通过追踪不同类型的工人社区（矿工、咖啡工人、铁路工人和码头工人）对不同政治意识（激进、自由、保守）的影响，该项目将检验以下假设：先前劳动力参与私营或公共部门工作影响了正在发展的工人身份的激进主义。 这项研究很重要，因为它将增进我们对南美洲北部工人身份发展的历史理解。 共产党、自由党和保守党意识形态的发展一直是这个地区工人身份的重要组成部分。 该项目所带来的知识进步将有助于解释尼加拉瓜等类似地区的事件进程。 此外，该项目还将增加国家在这一世界重要领域的专业知识。
