Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze recognition requirements of indigenous rights in Mexico. Decolonial study of this issue responds to the requirement for justice for the indigenous peoples. This need is a consequence of the economic and cultural neocolonization process. This paper will focus on the study of the relationship between neocolonial strategies and extractivism in Mexico. A key topic is the analysis of the right to land because it is linked with environmental issues and traditional systems of land ownership. Finally, this paper will address some arguments about philosophical and juridical pluralism in order to build alternatives to the hegemonic current paradigm.
