This paper shows how the transnational corporation Goldcorp Inc.
in order to profit from open sky gold mining in the collective lands of three Mexican peasant communities
relates with the local societies based on the principle of negative reciprocity
understood as “attempting
with impunity
to obtain something without giving anything in exchangeâ€. It also illustrates the procedures used by Goldcorp to obtain control of the gold source
achieve the political entrapment of the communities
and impose a micro-regional dominance regime based on coercion. Finally
it analyzes the local social reactions to negative reciprocity
mostly demonstrations and road-blocking protests
which renew local discourses about “justice†and propose a moral renegotiation between the corporation and the local community. reciprocidad negativa
