“My island is my story”: Environmental conflict and struggle for territorial and identity recognition on the island of Boipeba – Cairu/BA.
Environmental conflict; Identity; Territoriality; Tourist Project.
This research deals with the conflict raised by the environmental licensing process of the Ponta dos Castelhanos Tourism-Real Estate Project, located on Boipeba Island – Cairu/BA. For this, I analyze the establishment of legal categories and the processes in which the groups and their territory come to be seen through these categories, especially in the spaces of negotiation with the public power. This route contributes to an analysis of the way in which state conviction for the recognition of identities and territorialities is produced.
