摘要
Neoliberal reforms and social constructs that legitimate the full exploitation of nature intersect with political power to produce an inherently violent social atmosphere in which economic development is based on exclusion, submission, and dispossession of rural and indigenous communities. Historical ecological study of Lake Xochimilco reveals the way in which imposed constructs of nature that exclude traditional ecological knowledge have transformed landscapes and livelihoods to the detriment of all the inhabitants of Mexico City. Las reformas neoliberales y las construcciones sociales que legitiman la explotacion plena de la naturaleza se cruzan con el poder politico para crear un ambiente social inhe-rentemente violento en el cual el desarrollo economico se basa en la exclusion, el sometimiento y el despojo de las comunidades rurales e indigenas. El estudio historico de la ecologia del Lago de Xochimilco revela la manera en que las construcciones de la naturaleza impuestas que excluyen el conocimiento ecologico tradicional han transformado el paisaje y los medios de subsistencia en detrimento de todos los habitantes de la Ciudad de Mexico.
