MARTINEZ ESPINOZA, Manuel Ignacio. Repertoires of Collective Action against Mining Extractivism in Latin America. Andamios [online]. 2018, vol.15, n.37, pp.43-73. ISSN 2594-1917.

This article analyzes the social movements that confront extractivism in Latin America. It is argued that an extractivist model has been implanted based in imbricated and shared patterns that refer to the intrusion of transnational mining, institutional support and territorial appropriation. Due to these patterns, movements of environmental justice have been emerged, so the article examines their composition, articulation and dynamics of collective action, as well as the criminalization of social protest. It concludes with an encouraging reflection because are exposed three cases where the socio-enviromental movements have contributed for the cancellation of extractive projects.

Palabras llave : Social movements; extractivism; mining; Latin America; criminalization of social protest.
