“…The term of indigeneity connects closely with the interaction between nature, land, and social environment. It contains diverse dimensions of ecological knowledge, specific political rights, and cultural identification (de la Cadena & Starn, 2009;Matute, 2020;Merlan, 2009). During the generational interaction with natural environments, the worldview contained within indigeneity is that humans are an integral part of nature, which is the primary source of all life that nourishes, supports, and teaches (Ma, 2018).…”

“…The historical continuity and special right are actually the major characteristics of Indigenous Peoples to distinguish them from ethnic minorities who may be migrants (Carr et al, 2016). The term of "indigeneity" is generally used to describe Indigenous Peoples, which connects closely with land and highlights specific political rights and power of local peoples (Matute, 2020).…”

There is confusion between the use of "ethnic minority tourism" and "Indigenous tourism" as concepts, both in practice as well as in tourism research. Since different tourism types occur in different communities in different geo-historical contexts, these two tourism concepts should be understood to be situated in a particular context. In order to enhance peoples' epistemological understanding of the two kinds of tourism phenomenon, this article aims to critically distinguish the concept of "ethnic minority tourism" and "Indigenous tourism" by highlighting commonalities and differences. The paradigm of critical realism, and a critical literature review method, are applied in this article. Commonly abstracted as types of "ethnic tourism," both "ethnic minority tourism" and "Indigenous tourism" can be understood as a form of interethnic interaction, a way of reconciliation and a model of community-based tourism that should emphasize local peoples' indigeneity in tourism. Differences of these two tourism types mainly exist in different official identities of local peoples. "Ethnic minority people" and "Indigenous People," as two different social identities, lead to different roles of local peoples in tourism practices and contribute to these two tourism types at different stages. For example, the understanding of Indigenous tourism has changed from "tourist-based economy" to "Indigenous-based tourism" based on the practice of Indigenous control in tourism. While ethnic minority tourism is still in the stage of "tourist-based economy," and current understandings are also at this stage. In addition, the sensitivity of the relationship between hosts and guests is different because of the colonial and intrusive experience emphasized in Indigenous identity that can make non-Indigenous tourists feel shame or guilt in a settler state.

“…Contrary to their benign image, I argue that projects of wind park development in Oaxaca are imbricated in and continue colonial power relations. This serves to reproduce historical forms of oppression including those based on inequalities of race and class, integral to the ‘coloniality of power’ in Latin America that reproduces a Eurocentric hierarchy in terms of valuing knowledge (Cumes, 2018; Durán Matute, 2021: 4; Quijano, 2000). They do so by ignoring the plural ways of being of subaltern subjects and their desire to construct spaces based on their own needs.…”

Clean development or the development of dispossession? The political economy of wind parks in Southern Mexico

Through an investigation of the political economy of wind park development in Oaxaca, southern Mexico, I explore the contested meaning of environmental justice. I contend that, despite their seemingly benign image, wind parks in Oaxaca operate within a spatially abstracted, colonial epistemology of capital-centred development. This involves a remaking of space and an appropriation of nature on behalf of capital. Concomitantly, it also involves a process of dispossession for Indigenous communities, foreclosing alternative pathways of development. I contrast this project of place-making with a subaltern-centred conception of environmental justice informed by Indigenous resistance.
