摘要
以水资源为中心的土著社区权利的捍卫在墨西哥长期存在争议,事实上,在全球南方的大部分地区也是如此。在这项研究中,James V. Mestaz讨论了梅奥人如何动员起来反对非梅奥人的用水,利用各种技术或水力工具,包括运河和灌溉,以及更传统的措施,努力抵制和谈判墨西哥政府从19世纪末开始在富尔特河谷不断发展的政策。对于许多梅奥社区来说,他们的文化和日常生活都围绕着水,非梅奥人的定居被证明是有争议的,尤其是在革命后的政策加速发展的情况下。梅斯塔兹的分析不仅是一个长期生存的故事,也是一个动态的环境历史,说明了土著的毅力。
Indigenous defense of community rights centering on water resources has had a long and contested presence in Mexico, and in fact, in much of the Global South. In this study, James V. Mestaz discusses how Mayo peoples mobilized against non-Mayo appropriation of water, utilizing diverse technologies or hydraulic tools including canals and irrigation as well as more traditional measures, in an effort to resist and negotiate the Mexican state’s evolving policies in the Fuerte River Valley from the late nineteenth century. For many Mayo communities, whose culture and everyday life revolved around water, settlement by non-Mayo peoples proved to be contentious, especially as postrevolutionary policies accelerated development. Mestaz’s analysis is not only a story of long-term survival, but also a dynamic environmental history that illustrates indigenous perseverance.
