The essay explores the political values ​​materialized by the landscape for the Ikoots indigenous population of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec (Oaxaca, México) in the context of the socio-environmental conflicts triggered by the installation of mega wind farms in the region. These large-scale wind farms, in addition to advancing through aggressive land grabbing, are also causing a kind of 'landscape grabbing', that is a radical and abrupt transformation of the landscape that seems to endanger indigenous self-determination in a more radical and sneaky way than ever before.

Abstract

The essay explores the political values ​​materialized by the landscape for the Ikoots indigenous population of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec (Oaxaca, México) in the context of the socio-environmental conflicts triggered by the installation of mega wind farms in the region. These large-scale wind farms, in addition to advancing through aggressive land grabbing, are also causing a kind of 'landscape grabbing', that is a radical and abrupt transformation of the landscape that seems to endanger indigenous self-determination in a more radical and sneaky way than ever before.
