Jayson Maurice Porter, PhD candidate in History, Northwestern University
Overview: Based on a new essay with a similar title, Porter will argue that coconut development in coastal Guerrero from 1930 to 1970 was plagued by three forms of environmental insecurity--economic, social/spatial, and ecological--which in turn led to migration, insurgency, and drug cultivation by the 1970s in the region. Porter describes the environmental justice related to oilseed contamination among Afro-Indigenous populations in the region.
