Abstract

This essay explores, from an eco-political perspective, the popular mobilization led by peasants in the municipality of Atenco against Mexico City’s new international airport. It provides a case study of the dramatic worldwide changes brought about by the construction of mega-infrastructure, the intimate link between peasant communities’ social and cultural values, the lake and agricultural land put at risk by the airport construction project, and the subsequent struggle in defense of the lake and land affected by this project. Finally, it narrates the experience of the #YoPrefieroElLago (Hashtag I prefer the lake) campaign, which, amidst the presidential transition in Mexico, resulted in the airport’s cancellation, a victory for the People’s Front in Defense of Land.
阿坦科反对在墨西哥城修建新国际机场的斗争中的生态政治冲突和社区环保主义
这篇文章从生态政治的角度探讨了阿坦科(Atenco)市农民领导的反对墨西哥城新国际机场的民众动员。文章提供了一个案例研究,说明了超大型基础设施的建设给世界带来的巨大变化,农民社区的社会和文化价值与机场建设项目危及的湖泊和农田之间的密切联系,以及随后为保护受该项目影响的湖泊和土地而进行的斗争。最后,报告叙述了 #YoPrefieroElLago(Hashtag 我更喜欢湖泊)运动的经历,在墨西哥总统换届期间,该运动导致机场被取消,这是保卫土地人民阵线的一次胜利。
