CANO CASTELLANOS, Ingreet Juliet. Plantation Systems, Peasantries, and Socio-environmental Conflicts. Reflections about Southeastern Chiapas. Sociológica (Méx.) [online]. 2022, vol.37, n.106, pp.191-226. Epub 01-Sep-2023. ISSN 2007-8358.
This article deals with three analytical issues central to the study of the worldwide expansion of palm oil plantations from a relational and historic standpoint, based on the process in Southeastern Chiapas. The author initially reflects on the pertinence of the notion of enclave in contexts in which this single-crop cultivation is carried out by small producers. She then shines a light on the case by reviewing the relationship between different kinds of peasantries and plantation systems in past and contemporary periods. Finally, she describes the apparent disconnect between social and environmental content expressed in recent collective actions sparked by single-crop farming in this area, reflecting about the importance of considering them in light of different scales and arenas of discussion.
