David Harvey’s take on Marx’s theory of primitive accumulation—through the notion of accumulation by dispossession (ABD)—is a theoretical framework used to break down capitalist exploitations in Peru by Canadian mining companies. Bastioned by the global North, capitalist imperialism rests on the dispossession of land, human rights, and assets to accumulate capital. The pursuit of accumulative areas of capital has come at the expense of the Peruvian people, who, for the past few decades, have struggled against the violence and force of Canadian mining companies. Evidently, the pledge towards economic prosperity, job security, and environmental caution has yet to materialize. Naturally, this capital-tailored mechanism has sparked resistance movements amongst those who are excessively victimized. This paper explores the evolution of Canadian mining companies in Peru, the violation of human rights, the environmental impact, and the resistance movement that stems from them by analysing the case of Tambogrande.
