The indigenous question in Mexico and Latin America

Abstract

The text presented to us by the author is of utmost importance to address the challenges that the current social and political context imposes on us as members of the university community and as Mexicans. A central element of this context consists of acts of state terrorism used to impose mega extractivist and infrastructure projects. These acts essentially consist of a systematic deployment of violence (criminalization of protests, disappearances, displacements, assassinations, purchase of authorities, etc.) against Indigenous Peoples and communities that oppose the advancement of the aforementioned projects.
