Los derechos humanos de los pueblos indígenas de la Amazonía en el siglo XXI: límites del desarrollo sustentable y el ascenso de la nueva derecha en Brasil

Abstract

The article shows the research result’s carried out on the indigenous presence and agency in the Brazilian Amazon’s urban environments between 2003-2020, as a consequence of the socio-spatial transformations cause by  the commercial border expansion over the region. The capitalism reconfiguration in Latin America in recent decades has resulted in new problems for the integral reproduction of the life forms of indigenous peoples in their ancestral territories, as well as has caused the migratory flow to the main urban areas of the region, impacting the protection and guarantee of specific collective human rights. The article aims to unearth the main causes and consequences of capitalism reconfiguration for the life and rights of indigenous peoples, especially taking into consideration the rise of the far right party to power in Brazil. A spatial-temporal approach was carried out from a multiscale perspective, which allowed to establish the relationship between human rights and the extractivist-exporter model, understanding and clarifying the limits and possibilities of state action to guarantee for these peoples their own cultural continuity and physical survival.
