| description | In the present article, I evaluate the relevance of the concept of accumulation by dispossession in the case of large-scale mining in Africa and Latin America. I inventory and classify various types of dispossession processes associated with the implementation of large-scale mining activities in both regions. I evidence the relevance of this category in these two contexts, and its theoretical power, by showing how it captures essential elements of the dynamics of capitalism at the global level. In both regions, the processes constitutive of accumulation by dispossession are very similar. Social struggles against large-scale mining on both continents share common global determinants. is evidences the possibility of south-south alliances between these struggles. |

En este artículo evalúo la pertinencia del concepto de acumulación por desposesión para el análisis de la megaminería en África y América Latina. Inventarío y clasifico diferentes tipos de procesos de desposesión relacionados con la actividad minera a gran escala en ambas regiones. Evidencio la pertinencia de esta categoría para los dos contextos y su capacidad como teoría para captar elementos esenciales de la dinámica del capitalismo a nivel global. Los procesos constitutivos de acumulación por desposesión vinculados a la megaminería son muy similares en ambas regiones, lo que evidencia que las luchas sociales emprendidas contra la megaminería en los dos continentes tienen determinantes globales comunes y por tanto, existe un potencial para formar alianzas entre éstas. Neste artigo, avalio a pertinência do conceito de acumulação por expropriação para a análise da mega- mineração na África e América Latina. Inventario e classico diferentes tipos de processos de expropriação vinculados à atividade mineira a grande escala em ambas as regiões. Evidencio a pertinência desta categoria para os dois contextos e sua capacidade como teoria para captar elementos essenciais da dinâmica do capitalismo a nível global. Os processos constitutivos de acumulação por expropriação vinculados à mega-mineração são muitos similares em ambas as regiões, o que evidencia que as lutas sociais empreendidas nos dois continentes contra a mega-mineração têm determinantes globais comuns e, portanto, existe um potencial para formar alianças entre estas.
