Introduction to Dossier. Dispossession, Social Segregation of Space and Territories in Resistance in Latin America by Ivette Vallejo, Giannina Zamora, William Sacher

“…Accumulation due to dispossession in Latin America has intensified in the last decade, creating new areas of sacrifice for the installation of hydrocarbon, energy-mining, monoculture, agroindustry and biofuel projects. These projects have brought with them an assemblage of roads and infrastructures to locate, extract, and transport commodities to the global market. …”
