“…This new mapping was driven by the interests of transnational timber companies that had been exploiting the tropical forests for decades. Thus, the new mapping and bordering coincided with what historian Jan De Vos called "the golden era of mahogany" (De Vos, 1996, p. 11; see also Laako, 2016;Kauffer et al, 2019). This process can be considered the first cornerstone of the politics of nationalizing space, although this cornerstone the border existed more on paper (de jure) than in reality (de facto).…”

“…The Turnerian frontier later came to be perceived as colonial and flawed, with its assumption of empty lands that were actually the homelands of Native peoples. The concept of frontier fell from grace and was replaced by borderlands studies (e.g., Hämäläinen & Truett, 2011;Altenbernd & Young, 2014;Laako, 2016).…”

“…Toisaalta rajaseudut ovat olleet pakopaikkoja, uudisraivaajien ja kulttuurien yhteentörmäyksien tiloja sekä yhteistyön syntysijoja, joista on ajateltu nousevan myös vastarintaa hallitseville historiallisille ja yhteiskunnallisille tulkinnoille (esim. Anzaldúa 1987;Hämäläinen & Truett 2011;Laako 2016;Widdis 2019). Rajaseuduilla on viitattu kansainvälisiin raja-alueisiin, mutta myös perifeerisiin reuna-alueisiin, joilla tulkitaan olevan vaikutusvaltaa valtakeskuksiin, ja jotka luovat myös omanlaisiaan valtasuhteiden tiloja ja prosesseja.…”

“…Sekä frontierettä borderlands-käsitteet on toisinaan käännetty rajaseuduiksi. Molemmilla käsitteillä on viitattu periferioihin eli syrjäseutuihin, vaikka tätäkin on kritisoitu (Geiger 2009;Laako 2016). Eurooppalaisessa tieteellisessä keskustelussa frontier ja borderlands on myös ymmärretty toisinaan synonyymeiksi.…”

“…Esta reconsideración fronteriza coincidió con la importante evolución académica en la región, particularmente del lado mexicano; para 1980 ya existían varios centros de investigación en la región que estudiaban las dinámicas y problemáticas de la frontera sur, como El Colegio de la Frontera Sur (Ecosur) y el Centro de Investigaciones y Estudios Superiores en Antropología Social Unidad Sureste (ciesas-Sureste), el Centro de Investigaciones Humanísticas de Mesoamérica y el Estado de Chiapas (Cihmech) que actualmente es el Centro de Investigaciones Multidisciplinarias sobre Chiapas y la Frontera Sur (Cimsur) adscrito a la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (unam). A la vez, revivieron las consideraciones teóricas diferentes de la frontera como una región aislada y periférica, pero también sujeta a dinámicas importantes (Laako, 2016). La región se percibió académica y científicamente como un lugar de expansión y de abundancia natural, por lo tanto, una oportunidad de expansión estatal con mención al trópico húmedo (Fábregas et al, 1985).…”
