Resumo

This review essay discusses Teresa Rojas Rabiela's book "Presente, pasado y futuro de las chinampas," which examines the history, present situation, and future prospects of the chinampa agricultural system in the Valley of Mexico. Rojas Rabiela's work combines historical research with ethnographic and ecological analysis to provide a comprehensive understanding of this unique agricultural system. The reviewer, Frederic Hicks, praises the book's detailed analysis and its contribution to understanding the complex interplay of social, economic, and environmental factors that have shaped the chinampas over time. He also highlights the book's relevance to contemporary debates about sustainable agriculture and urban development.
