Latin America and the Caribbean and the Covid19. The screenshot is taken from the “COVID-19 Dashboard by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University (JHU)<\/a>“.<\/p><\/div>\n

The novel coronavirus pandemic (covid19) has caught the Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region in a very particular moment of its entangled history. Since last fall, mass protests and demonstrations were springing in the whole region, most of them in South American countries. Regardless of political ideologies, the common denominator of the protests was the reaction of several sectors of the society against accumulated grievances and overt inequalities, besides the restriction of democratic rights that were revindicated by workers, environmental, feminist, peasant, indigenous and afrolatinx movements through the rural and urban continuum. However, there is no such thing as a unique \u201cLatin American experience\u201d. Each nation-state, place or circumstance shows different societal and ecological challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n

This special issue from the ESDLA blog brings different perspectives on the current juncture of the Covid19 pandemic in the LAC region. This set of perspectives does not pretend to establish a final word of what is happening all over LAC. Far from that. Instead, the issue brings some reflections on issues of environment, society, and development amid the pandemic by Latin American scholars or with interest in the LAC region, based in Finland. <\/span><\/p>\n

The special issue will have the following contributions mostly reflecting on cases in Brazil, Peru and Chile, Colombia and Mexico:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mariana G. Lyra: The historical and current issues at stake during COVID-19 epidemic in Brazil<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Anna Heikkinen: Not everyone has the privilege to wash the hands: Covid\u201319 and unequal access to water in Latin America<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Germ\u00e1n A. Quimbayo Ruiz: When urban and ecological injustices meet pandemic: The Covid19 in urbanized Colombia<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Violeta Guti\u00e9rrez Zamora: The “forgotten” essentials: Mexican and Central American farmworkers during the covid19 pandemic<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Anna Heikkinen: Rural communities in the Peruvian Amazon are confronting the coronavirus on their own\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Paola Minoia: Ecuador: The Covid-19 health emergency cannot be a justification for making public education for the economic crisis<\/a><\/p>\n

Violeta Guti\u00e9rrez Zamora: The COVID-19 pandemic and socio-ecological crises: What is the future for community forestry?<\/a><\/p>\n

Mariana G. Lyra: Mobilizing in times of social distancing: activism and protests in Brazil during the COVID-19 pandemic<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Nadia Nava Contreras: CoVid-19 in Cuba: Reflections on Inequalities, Scarcity, and Alternatives<\/a><\/p>\n

More contributions will come soon.<\/p>\n

[Last updated: 6.11.2020]<\/p>\n

-\/-<\/p>\n

We hope that these contributions and reflections allow a broader view of the constant and changing challenges posed by the Covid19 pandemic in the LAC region.<\/span><\/p>\n
