Resumen
DIEGO QUINTANA, Roberto. Rural Social Actors and Mining Mega-Projects in Mexico. Prob. Des [online]. 2014, vol.45, n.179, pp.159-180. ISSN 0301-7036.
This work deals with accumulation by dispossession, a process by which multinational corporations engaged in open-pit mining have availed themselves of the lands of farmers and indigenous peoples. Specifically, it is concerned with legislative, political and ideological factors, as well as the abuse of authority brought on by the current situation, in which nearly 17% of the national territory was under concession to these companies as of 2013. This is an attack on the communities and territories of farmers and original peoples, not to mention national sovereignty. With this in mind, this study proposes some potential strategies to defend the resources and territory from this dispossession.
