Abstract

As literature on forced land acquisition, land grab, and its integral relationship with capitalist accumulation grows, Hall et al. caution against anticipating resistance to forced land acquisition as the natural or logical response. Instead, they make a call to examine the particular conditions and context within which such processes take place to understand the variety of ways in which “local communities” respond to land acquisition in the name of development. Heeding such caution and carrying the discussion forward, in this special issue, we examine the myriad processes that are unleashed in the aftermath of dispossession from lands and resistance to it in two Global South countries—India and Mexico. While the two nations have divergent histories of colonialism and postcolonial economic trajectories, by examining processes of dispossession and resistance in two countries of the Global South, we hope to initiate a discussion on the heterogenous and diverse forms of capitalist accumulation and people’s responses to them through the medium of a central resource of natural capital and primary factor of production.
关于印度和墨西哥的剥夺与反抗的特刊:导言
随着有关强制征用土地、土地掠夺及其与资本主义积累的整体关系的文献日益增多,Hall 等人告诫人们不要将抵制强制征用土地视为自然或合乎逻辑的反应。相反,他们呼吁研究此类过程发生的特定条件和背景,以了解 "当地社区 "以发展的名义应对土地征用的各种方式。秉承这种谨慎态度,并将讨论推向深入,我们在本特刊中研究了两个全球南部国家--印度和墨西哥--在土地被剥夺后所引发的无数过程以及对土地剥夺的反抗。虽然这两个国家有着不同的殖民主义历史和后殖民经济轨迹,但通过研究全球南部两个国家的土地剥夺和抵抗过程,我们希望通过自然资本这一核心资源和主要生产要素,就资本主义积累的各种不同形式以及人们对这些形式的反应展开讨论。
