| الملخص: | This article is based on an ethnographic study of the land route that connects the port of Iquique (Chile) and the city of Oruro (Bolivia).

The authors describe a new phase of capitalist expansion led by the local transportation industry and its articulation of kinship-based economic strategies, the overlapping of local political power and rituals, and the appropriation of the international border as an economic and political space for rolling out those strategies. |
