Title: | Environmental Colonialism, Criminalization and Resistance: Puerto Rican Mobilizations for Environmental Justice in the 21st Century | Authors: | Atiles-Osoria, José M. | Keywords: | Anti-colonialism; Environmental colonialism; Environmental justice; Puerto Rico; Repression | Issue Date: | Oct-2014 | Publisher: | Centro de Estudos Sociais | Serial title, monograph or event: | RCCS Annual Review | Issue: | 6 | Place of publication or event: | Coimbra | Abstract: | Struggles for environmental justice have become a fundamental part of Puerto Rican sociopolitical and anticolonial mobilizations since the mid-twentieth century. In this context, and paying particular attention to the criminalization processes used by the United States in the post 9/11 era, the article develops three lines of analysis: 1) a reflection on environmental colonialism in the context of Puerto Rico; 2) an analysis of the mechanisms of criminalization and repression developed by the governments of the US and Puerto Rico; 3) a review of the Puerto Rican socio-environmental conflicts between 1999 and 2012. The discussion of these points shows the close connection between Puerto Rican environmental and anti-colonial movements, as well as the mechanisms of repression and criminalization deployed against them. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/36579 | ISSN: | 1647-3175 | DOI: | 10.4000/rccsar.524 10.4000/rccsar.524 |
