Gallart Nocetti, Ma. Antonieta y Patricia Greaves Laine / Una experiencia de monitoreo del reasentamiento de población por la construcción de los proyectos hidroelétricos Aguamilpa y Zimapán.
A monitoring experience of the population resettlement for the construction of the Aguamilpa and Zimapán hydroelectric projects.
When the World Bank recognized that re-settling populations also created, they defined a new relocation policy according to which the social impact of hydroelectric projects in Aguamilpa and Zimapán (Mexico) would he evaluated. Gallart and Greaves describe this process in detail and underline the difficulties facing this type of work. Lack or hiding of information, lack of decision making power, lack of communication between executor and monitor, coordination before, during and after the physical relocation of the population, etc.

Pérez Quijada, Juan / Reacomodos. Treinta años después.
Re-settlements. Thirty years later.
The Miguel Alemán reservoir was built in 1957, destroying the habitat of the mazateca culture, which was separated from its original land, to which little by little those who did not adapt to their new home returned, but are now facing a different sociocultural situation, with new sectors, economic groups and factions, which would enter the political arena in later years. This document follows-up the evolution of the populations of the reservoir (since it was built until the decade of the eighties) from an economic variable which arose from fishing, up to today social and political organization.

Bartolomé, Miguel Alberto / Presas y relocalizaciones de indígenas en América Latina.
Reservoirs and Relocations of Indigenous Groups in Latin America.
This essay approaches the problem of compulsive relocations of the indigenous populations in Latin America, a phenomena that, apart from the construction of reservoirs, has been present in the region since the XVI century. In the case of the construction of great reservoirs, one of the main problems arising from the need to restore the land to the populations displaced which has been identified, which is a very serious situation if we consider that not only does it mean a change of residence, but also one of territoriality and identity, and what defines the relationship of a human group with the land, is not their sense of property, but their existential link, which is constructed through their history. Other elements which can not be ignored when a relocation is proposed are: l) the nature of local political action vs. the nature of national political action, 2) the socio-ecological confrontation, and, what is most important, 3) the extended ethnocide which is understood, as is by Clastres, as “the systematic destruction of the forms of life and thought of people who are other than those promoting this process”.

Coelho dos Santos, Silvio / Presas y cuestiones socioambientales en el Brasil.
Reservoirs and Socio-environmental matters in Brazil.
Highly negative socio-environmental impacts for the marginal sectors of society are associated with the implantation of economic macro projects, particularly in reservoirs destined to the installation of hydroelectric plants in the tropical forests. In Brazil, indigenous groups and rural populations have lived different negative experiences as a result of this type of projects being implanted, such as thousands of hectares, which before were previously covered by jungle and being flooded. The Balbina hydroelectric located at the north of the Brazilian Amazonia, is taken as a paradigmatic case for the State nation which sponsored these works, moves within an integrationst, authoritarian and coercive vision, which favours the privileged sectors of a national society.
