Abstract
En el golfo de California, México, la colonialidad del poder se ha ejercido durante siglos provocando la devastación de sus ecosistemas y despojado a sus habitantes de sus territorios y maritorios. Como es común en el Sur Global, esto se ha realizado en nombre de la civilización, el progreso y el desarrollo, legitimando los procesos de colonización, extractivismo y modernización. Es menos evidente comprender que los mismos efectos resultan de actividades como la investigación científica, la conservación y los turismos, considerados
generalmente como paliativos de la crisis ecológica y alternativa económica sustentable. Esa situación se explica con la historia ambiental decolonial, pero, además, al hacerla colectivamente y desde abajo abre la posibilidad a una historiografía emancipadora, para la construcción de otros maritorios posibles. Este texto es una síntesis de la obra 'Nuestro mar: historia ambiental del golfo de California (siglos XVI al XXI)', publicada por la editorial Comares en 2021.
In the Gulf of California, Mexico, the coloniality of power has been exercised for centuries causing the devastation of its ecosystems and dispossessing its inhabitants of their territories and maritime domains. As it is usual in the Global South, this has been done in the name of civilization, progress and development, legitimizing the processes of colonization, extractivism and modernization. It is less obvious to understand that the same effects result from activities such as scientific research, conservation and tourism, generally considered as palliatives of the ecological crisis and a sustainable economic alternative. From the decoloniality of knowledge, environmental history explains this situation, and by doing it collectively and from bottom-up, it opens the possibility of an emancipatory historiography, contributing to the construction of other possible maritories. This situation is explained by decolonial environmental history, but also by doing it collectively and from below opens the possibility of an emancipatory historiography, for the construction of other possible maritoriums. This text is a synthesis of 'Nuestro mar: historia ambiental del golfo de California (siglos XVI al XXI)', published by the edition house Comares in 2021.
