{"title":"Introduction: Venezuela, Dispersed: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Venezuelan Migration","authors":"Rebecca Irons, Katie Brown","doi":"10.1111/blar.13618","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/blar.13618","url":null,"abstract":"<p>With over 7.7 million people displaced from Venezuela as of June 2024, over a million of whom are seeking asylum (UNHCR <span>2024</span>), this is the second largest migratory crisis in the contemporary world, and the most significant in the Americas. Of this number, 6.5 million Venezuelans are now residing in Latin America and the Caribbean (R4V <span>2024</span>), making this a regional emergency of major, if internationally overlooked, concern.</p><p>While Venezuelans have been emigrating over the last two decades since Hugo Chávez came to power in 1999 and began the ‘Bolivarian Revolution’, the 1–2 million who had left by 2014 were predominantly from the educated middle and upper classes, leaving due to political opposition to the regime, a lack of opportunities for skilled work and high levels of crime and violence (Paéz <span>2015</span>). The unprecedented scale of displacement since 2015 reveals a shifting dynamic, as a much broader section of the population flees a multidimensional crisis, including hyperinflation, shortages of food and medicine and increasing authoritarianism under Nicolás Maduro, who succeeded Chávez after the latter's death in 2013. The articles gathered in this special section evidence both the push factors from Venezuela and the conditions that the displaced experience in recipient countries. Access to healthcare, for example, is a recurrent concern raised across these articles, both in Venezuela and abroad. Colombia hosts the highest number of Venezuelans at 2.8 million as of January 2024 (IOM <span>2024</span>). As such, it is appropriate that two of the articles focus on Venezuelan migration to and within the Colombian cities of Bogotá (Irons), Bucaramanga and Medellín (Wilde et al.). The third article by Lines et al. discusses migration to Brazil, which hosts around 20 per cent of the Venezuelan diaspora (ACAPS <span>2023</span>).</p><p>The relatively recent surge in displacement has presented a fast-changing landscape that necessitates an interdisciplinary lens to better understand and address the ongoing emergency. To collaboratively address the intersecting issues arising, in May 2022 we brought together 22 international scholars, in-person and online, at ‘Venezuela, Dispersed: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Venezuelan Migration and the Diaspora’, a conference held at the University of Exeter, UK, with funding from the Institute of Modern Languages Research. The far-reaching implications of Venezuelan displacement are evident from the breadth of subjects explored at the conference, including the cultural rights, literary production and media representations of Venezuelan migrants; political mobilisation, asylum seeking and everyday survival; access to healthcare (particularly sexual and reproductive care); creativity, work and intersectionality; and oral testimony and autobiography. The three articles forming this Special Section all began as presentations at this conference.

We argue that though the situation facing Venezuelan migrants in Colombia is characterised fundamentally by hardship, at the level of everyday experience it is also one shaped by hope. Engaging with recent debates concerning aspiration and care in situations of precarity, we describe this mode of being as <i>contingent hope</i>: as an orientation towards the future premised on the desired improvement of specific circumstances. We contend that the capacity to maintain hope is derived from the strength of kinship ties that stretch across borders and enable emotional investments in the future.</p>","PeriodicalId":9338,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Latin American Research","volume":"44 1","pages":"20-32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/blar.13617","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143113708","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
