CRUZ-CORIA, Erika; ZIZUMBO-VILLARREAL, Lilia; CRUZ-JIMENEZ, Graciela e QUINTANILLA-MONTOYA, Ana Luz. Capitalist Domination Dynamics in Rural Areas: the Configuration of Touristic Farmlands. Cuad. Desarro. Rural [online]. 2012, vol.9, n.69, pp.151-174. ISSN 0122-1450.
The economic downturn of primary activities in rural Mexico has brought about a shift of productive activities into a service economy, and the land is now the place for non-agricultural activities such as tourism which not only affects ecosystems but has transformed rural areas into a dense fabric full of infrastructures and equipment for providing services to tourists. The aim of this paper is to conduct a theoretical reflection on the configuration of rural areas as a result of the process of capitalist domination through tourism, a historic process formed by two main dynamics: the appropriation of space and strategic resources for tourism, and the increase in value of such space.
