Tracing key trends of the global-regional-local interface of power,
Ines Duran Matute through the case of the indigenous community of
Mezcala (Mexico) demonstrates how global political economic
processes shape the lives, spaces, projects and identities of the
most remote communities. Throughout the book, in-depth interviews,
participant observations and text collection, offer the reader
insight into the functioning of neoliberal governance, how it is
sustained in networks of power and rhetorics deployed, and how it
is experienced. People, as passively and actively participate in
its courses of action, are being enmeshed in these geographies of
power seeking out survival strategies, but also constructing
autonomous projects that challenge such forms of governance. This
book, by bringing together the experience of a geopolitical
locality and the literature from the Latin American Global South
into the discussions within the Global Northern academia, offers an
original and timely transdisciplinary approach that challenges the
interpretations of power and development while also prioritizing
and respecting the local production of knowledge.
