Absolution of Expropriation
This article brings into dialogue the theoretical foundations of "so-called primitive accumulation" with the politics of public land designation in the Brazilian Amazon to investigate how areas intended for environmental protection and for the self-determination of Indigenous and traditional peoples are converted into spaces for capital accumulation. It analyzes two Amazonian territories affected by the predatory appropriation of protected areas:…
Exploring food sovereignty among Amazonian peoples
We present an empirically-grounded exploration of food sovereignty among Brazilian Amazonian forest-proximate peoples, revealing five dimensions bound together by autonomy: family farming, women's work, agrobiodiversity, care for nature and a preference for own produced over industrial food. We examine the compatibility of this conceptualisation of Amazonian food sovereignty with Brazil's National School Feeding Program (PNAE). We find that in su…
Plunder and resistance in traditionally occupied territories of the Tapajós and Trombetas basins, Pará state, Brazilian Amazonia
In understanding contemporary Latin America, a critical post-developmental approach is particularly relevant. This approach closely links modernity to coloniality and its debates are permeated by the concept of colonized nature and by trenchant critiques of 21st century neo-extractivism . This article presents the social diversity and biocultural legacies of forest peoples who live in the basins of the Tapajós and Trombetas rivers. We present an …
Counter-conducts and the green grab
This paper examines how forest peoples' resistance to industrial resource extraction projects contributes to the production of 'green' spaces. Drawing on a case study of the Saracá-Taquera National Forest in the Brazilian Amazon, we analyze how a coalition of quilombola communities are mobilizing against a bauxite mining project proposed by a transnational corporation. We argue that their resistance, which we conceptualize as counter-conducts, di…
