Abstract
AbstractThe article looks at the power relations between landholders and wind companies for the fixation and distribution of rents from wind energy in the Oaxacan Isthmus. It foregrounds the centrality of rent in the process of land grabbing as well as the political nature of rent. Drawing on landholders, who have received little attention in the conflicts over wind energy in the Isthmus, the paper addresses a different layer in the socio‐environmental conflict, where subaltern actors have political and economic motivations to accept wind energy despite their acknowledgment of uneven power relations with investors. The paper contributes to the literature on the political ecology of renewables.
