Descrição
Resumo:This work focuses on the social movement that emerged over a decade ago in the town of Atenco in the State of Mexico, which triggered a series of farmers’, workers’ and popular demonstrations to appropriate and defend the land, which belongs to the Metropolitan Zone of Mexico City (zmcm). The movement, defined from the beginning as opposing the proposal to build the international airport, is not finished business, as it has given rise to a new form of social organization in Atenco. Ten years later, Atenco’s socio-urban and political configuration has changed, and today it is a territory with the characteristics of the urban dynamic, and a new social and political profile.
