This article examines the fraught meanings of protagonismo and ethical activist practice in the particular history and experiences of the Frente de Pueblos en Defensa de la Tierra (FPDT) from San Salvador Atenco. The article presents brief histories of the FPDT and the set of activist virtues I refer to as compañerismo. These histories come together in the context of state violence and co‐optation in which activists deploy ideas of protagonismo and compañerismo as pragmatic organizational and safety strategies as well as ethical regimes. I argue that through their emphasis on collectivity, contemporary ideas of compañerismo in the FPDT pose challenges to liberal democratic political processes as well as neoliberal conceptions of citizenship.[Indigenous people, Mexico, politics, social anthropology, social movements] pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
