Amazon, Capitalism, inequality, peripheral peoples, ACTO
This work highlights the relevance of the Amazonian peoples and their historical and contemporary challenges in the quest to deal with capitalist development, which from the beginning sought to implement the status of subalternity and peripheralization in Latin America, without taking into account the specificities of its people. In addition, we seek to understand how governments organize themselves to deal with the challenges and problems of this subalternity related to mining, impoverishment of populations and contamination of nature. Mainly in this contemporary environmental agenda that demands policies intrinsic to the people of the region and their demands. Finally, it brings the case of the Yanomami peoples as an example of the social problems that different peoples from the region also face in the Amazon.
