| Summary: | In this essay, I approach the experience of an indigenous people in Mexico who managed to defy and halt mining extractivism through legal struggle and social mobilization. Two aspects are salient: a) the way in which their own legal system and their own forms of knowledge enter legal discourse and challenge it to take into account other worldviews; b) the impact of those processes on collective identities and the reshaping of territorial autonomies. From this perspective I analyse the scope and limits of an ecology of knowledge in the judicial process and the role of anthropological discourse in its construction. |
