Examination of social environmental conflicts around mining in Mexico indicates that neoliberal reforms have facilitated "accumulation by dispossession," first by transferring public resources in the form of mineral rights and state-run mining companies to the private sector and second by dispossessing smallholder farmers and indigenous communities of their land, water, and cultural landscapes in order to allow mining companies to carry out their activities. The resistance movements that have emerged to confront this dispossession are led on the local level by people whose livelihoods, health, and cultures are threatened by large-scale mining projects. They reflect "the environmentalism of the poor" in that they seek to keep natural resources outside of the sphere of the capitalist mode of production. El examen de los conflictos socioambientales en torno a la minería en México indica que las reformas neoliberales han facilitado la "acumulación por desposesión": primero, transferiendo recursos públicos en forma de concesiones mineras y compañías paraestatales al sector privado y, segundo, despojando a los pequeños agricultures y a las comunidades indígenas de sus tierras, agua y paisajes culturales con el fin de permitirle a las compañías mineras llevar a cabo sus actividades. Los movimientos de resistencia que han surgido para afrontar este despojo están dirigidos en el plano local por personas cuyos medios de subsistencia, su salud y su cultura se ven amenazadas por los proyectos de minería en gran escala. Ellos reflejan "el ecologismo de los pobres" ya que buscan mantener los recursos naturales fuera de la esfera del modo de producción capitalista
