Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper examines a Brazilian coalition against mining that mobilized in 2013 as a response to changes in the mineral framework proposed by the Chamber of Deputies. The coalition incorporates a variety of members with several perspectives and worldviews, uniting their different agendas regarding the national mining framework and legislation transformation and meeting the challenging task of building consensus by setting environmental and social issues as its main imperatives. This analysis outlines the coalition’s strategies and actions related to environmental justice. The investigation also demonstrates how the coalition participants deal with their differences and similarities during the coalition building process. The study reveals how groups seeking environmental justice in Brazil are, in fact, also struggling both internally and externally with social inequality and the complexity of the intersectional axes of oppression present in the region.
