Putting people in their place: negotiating racialized subjectivity, the structure of natural resource management, and social position

Abstract:

The mutual constitution of domination and resistance provides opportunities for people to reshape their identities as well as to reposition themselves in the social order. Yet that reshaping and repositioning elicits a response by people in relatively more powerful positions to maintain their privilege and power. This raises the question of the degree to which subordinated subjects can escape their subordinate positions and reposition themselves in the field of social relations. Does the sustainability concept, with its call for greater attention to social variables, help subordinated people do this? Drawing on the case of the Vallecitos Federal Sustained Yield Unit in northern New Mexico, this paper illustrates how the structuring of natural resource management, the forming of subjectivity, and the negotiation of the environmental/racial discourse are simultaneously occurring, intertwined processes through which subordinate groups are subordinated and though which they attempt to reposition themselves in the field of racialized social positions. As these processes, which are constitutive of relationships of power, unfold, they impart particular strategic advantages and disadvantages to differentially situated social groups.
