The description/explanation of the session

The amplification of the effects of the capitalist global crisis in Our America demonstrates, between other forms, across the intensification of the processes of private transnational and national appropriation of the common natural goods. These processes suppose the increase of the schemes of private transnational resettling with the consistent sequel of “de-democratisation” of the social and political relations in the region. Opposite to the extractive offensive that seals the development of the crisis in Latin America the increasing rejection of peoples and communities expresses in the increase of the environmental conflicts in all the countries of the region. The fights in defense of the water and of the soils constitute today one of the most dynamic manifestations, though not exclusive, of these processes. Our exhibition has for aim do a brief presentation of these experiences, of the subjects and more emblematic carrying movements of the resistances and of the processes of convergence of the fights concerning the defense of the common goods and of the life.
