Overview

«Es crucial para nuestros paíises recuperar el control de los bienes y recursos naturales para su aprovechamiento, no explotación, en beneficio de las regiones y su población.» —Cuauhtemoc Cardenas El planeta atraviesa un estado de emergencia climática. La región latinoamericana padece los efectos del despojo. Pueblos, comunidades y sociedad organizada ofrecen una terca resistencia. Carlos Lavore, autor de diversos trabajos sobre participación, planeación y comunicación, da cuenta en este libro de lo que esta ocurriendo a escala global con los bosques, hielos, suelos y agua, cuya brutal explotación se traduce en desastres ""naturales"" y colapsos parciales con severas afectaciones a la vida. A partir del recuento de los saqueos de bienes y recursos naturales en los ultimos 40 años en América Latina, Lavore explica el proceso de extinción de la vida planetaria, o de buena parte de ella; reflexiona sobre los efectos negativos que ha producido la concentración del poder financiero, político y mediático; y pone el acento en las posibilidades de rescate. Si bien no existe un proyecto de liberación asumido colectivamente, este libro visibiliza las múltiples resistencias y consigna la potencialidad transformadora de distintas alternativas políticas y sociales a lo largo de América Latina, con un énfasis particular en México; como la experiencia del pueblo boliviano, el movimiento de los sin tierra, los zapatistas en el sureste mexicano, las fogatas populares en Cherán, el pueblo Yaqui en Sonora, los movimientos de mujeres en las grandes ciudades y una notable cantidad de resistencias locales. Entre la extinción y el rescate ofrece una interpretación que resultará útil para la articulación política de quienes sueñan con reinventar el mundo, reinventar América Latina, reinventarnos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION ""It’s crucial for our countries to regain control of the assets and natural resources for their use, not exploitation, for the benefit of the regions and their population."" —Cuauhtemoc Cardenas The planet is in a state of climate emergency. The Latin American region is suffering the effects of dispossession. Towns, communities and organized society offer stubborn resistance. Carlos Lavore, author of various works on participation, planning and communication, gives an account in this book of what’s happening on a global scale with forests, ice, soils and water, whose brutal exploitation translates into ""natural"" disasters and partial collapses with severe effects on life. Beginning with the lootingof goods and natural resources during the last 40 years in Latin America, Lavore explains the process of extinction of planetary life, or a good part of it; he reflects on the negative effects that the concentration of financial, political, and media power has produced; and emphasizes the possibilities of redemption. Although there is no liberation project assumed collectively, this book makes visible the multiple resistances and confirms the transforming potential of different political and social alternatives throughout Latin America, with a particular emphasis on Mexico; such as the experience of the Bolivian people, the movement of the landless, the Zapatistas in the Mexican southeast, the popular bonfires in Cheran, the Yaqui people in Sonora, the women's movements in the big cities, and a notable amount of local resistance. Between Extinction and Rescue offers an interpretation that will be useful for the political articulation of those who dream of reinventing the world, reinventing Latin America, reinventing ourselves.
