The vision of this book is to bring together examples of grounded geographic research carried out in Latin America regarding territorial processes. These encompass a range of histories, processes, strategies and mechanisms, with case studies from ten countries and many regions: struggles to reclaim indigenous lands, conflicts over land/resource/environmental services, competing land claims, urban territorial identities, state power strategies, commercial involvements and others. The case studies included in the book represent a wide diversity of theoretical and methodological framings currently deployed in Latin America to help interpret the patterns and processes through the conceptual lenses of territory, territoriality and territorialization. Interrogating the meanings of territory introduces multiple spatial, socio-cultural and political concepts including space, place and landscape, power, control and governance, and identity and gender.

Brian M. Napoletano: Assistant researcher, Centro de Investigaciones en Geografía Ambiental, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Morelia, Mexico.
Brian M. Napoletano studied biogeography at Michigan State University and Purdue University, but has since shifted his focus to the geographical dimensions of the metabolic rift, including alienation and territorial dispossession associated with capitalist urbanisation, conservation, resource extraction and other major land-change processes in the Global South. He has recently become interested in the possibilities of autogestion and successful co-revolutionary mobilisation by the world and environmental proletariat to forge a hegemonic alternative to capital's alienated mode of social-metabolic control.Tyanif Rico-Rodríguez: Ph.D. candidate in Geography, Centro de Investigaciones en Geografía Ambiental, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.
