The mining company uses its private property rights to access mineral resources, secure strategic transport corridors, produce and police ‘nature’, and as a bargaining chip in conflict resolution. The company does not always achieve its aims, but the paper argues that some territorial dynamics are increasingly mediated through property relations. As states have taken on a less interventionist role, capital takes on more protagonism by exercising the ‘bundle of powers’ bestowed by property ownership to reorder and fix human activity in space. How much power property bestows is nevertheless contingent on local histories of property relations—in Guatemala's case, a racialised property regime built on indigenous dispossession and exclusion—and that power remains subject to contestation.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":8241,"journal":{"name":"Antipode","volume":"58 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147569029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this essay, I examine the analytics and politics of Indigenous mobilities and how this expands on conceptions of Indigeneity while affirming that movement does not preclude belongings and claims to their ancestral lands. Drawing on works from critical Indigenous Studies and mobilities scholarship, I build a dialogue with Anishinaabe/French artist Caroline Monnet's work to examine how Indigenous (im)mobilities are entangled with coloniality, but more importantly, how agentive movement refuses essentialist conceptions of Indigeneity and opens possibilities for envisioning alternative futurities. I conclude by considering what Monnet calls the double meaning of movement as a call to political movement building. Specifically, I consider how mobilities elucidate connection across Indigenous peoples, as well as affinities with other colonized peoples, and how movement offers conceptual and methodological tools to conceive of Indigenous futurities in relational modes.</p>","PeriodicalId":8241,"journal":{"name":"Antipode","volume":"58 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/anti.70142","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148012013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It highlights three key ways in which environmental racism manifests in the border zone: the exposure of border dwellers to unhealthy environments, the reclamation of their living sites and active damage to their living environments.

Bringing critical race theory into dialogue with discard studies, I shift attention from proximity to waste as producing marginality to the racialization of distanced waste handling, showing how ideas of dirt and waste generate new forms of race-making in postcolonial contexts. I further argue that the racialization is a product of white environmentality's encounter with postcolonial difference, and that the framework of “authoritarian environmentalism” fails to capture the complexity of contamination of household recycling in Singapore.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":8241,"journal":{"name":"Antipode","volume":"58 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146217279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on a case study of a stigmatized, low-income commune in Santiago de Chile—using semi-structured interviews and documentary analysis—we examine how neighborhood experience, collective memory, and identity interact to shape material and symbolic understandings of territory. The findings reveal fragmented urban identities and intersecting demands for redistribution (infrastructure, services, security) and recognition (solidarity, community agency, historical memory), challenging dominant portrayals of these areas as merely poor and dangerous. By connecting critical traditions in urban studies, this article deepens our understanding of urban identity in marginalized spaces and contributes to efforts to advance justice through localized, context-sensitive, redistributive and recognition-based actions.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":8241,"journal":{"name":"Antipode","volume":"58 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146129823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
