"Mujeres Defensoras de la Vida y el Territorio en América Latina" unfolds the collective mobilizations and resistance of indigenous, Afro-descendant, peasant and rural women against the violence of extractive processes associated with mining and water grabbing. It highlights the importance for women of the links between bodies, water, spirituality and emotions in the face of socio-environmental inequalities. It also presents their political proposals regarding the establishment of new territorial and environmental relations from agroecology; as well as their demands for the positioning of local knowledge regarding conservation and biodiversity in multi-scale political and environmental scenarios. In short, the book proposes other visions of the world and possible worlds of diverse women in Latin America in the face of extractivism and socio-environmental and intersectional inequalities.
