Dossier: "Socio-environmental Conflicts, Daily Life, and the Resistance of Rural Communities Against the Advancement of Neo-Extractivism in the Brazilian Amazon"
Neo-extractivism refers to the repositioning of Latin American countries at the beginning of the 21st century as raw material producers through the adoption of developmentalist policies. The concept enables an analysis of the struggles and resistance of communities affected by capitalist extraction in the Amazon, a region viewed primarily as a resource reserve for capital expansion.
Ignoring the presence of traditional peoples and communities and supported by the state, capital advances through agribusiness, mining, and megaprojects, directly impacting territories, ways of life, and traditionally developed practices. This process triggers conflicts and resistance movements among the affected peoples and communities.
In light of this, we propose a discussion on socio-environmental conflicts, daily experiences, and the resistance efforts of traditional extractivist communities, riverside artisanal fishing communities, quilombolas, and peasants in the face of capitalist expansion in the Amazon. We are therefore interested in studies that analyze empirical cases or present theoretical contributions in the field of social sciences and humanities to better understand this context and its dynamics through the lens of neo-extractivism.
