The murder of the Brazilian environmental activist Chico Mendes in 1988 awakened environmental consciousness, after years of his defense against Amazonian deforestation. His assassination, however, did not lead into further protection of environmentalists, but rather to an increasing impunity in the attacks against them, particularly in Latin America, the deadliest region for local communities fighting extractive industries, deforestation, or large infrastructure projects. Using qualitative methodology, this chapter analyzes the narrative resources and journalistic treatment of a dozen of long-form reportages and profiles dealing with activism and resistance in Honduras, Perú, Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, Ecuador, and Argentina.

摘要

The murder of the Brazilian environmental activist Chico Mendes in 1988 awakened environmental consciousness, after years of his defense against Amazonian deforestation. His assassination, however, did not lead into further protection of environmentalists, but rather to an increasing impunity in the attacks against them, particularly in Latin America, the deadliest region for local communities fighting extractive industries, deforestation, or large infrastructure projects. Using qualitative methodology, this chapter analyzes the narrative resources and journalistic treatment of a dozen of long-form reportages and profiles dealing with activism and resistance in Honduras, Perú, Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, Ecuador, and Argentina.
