Zusammenfassung:This article defines the new profile of the fight over land in Latin America. The struggle for land is carried by modern antisystemic movements over the last forty years. This essay discloses the new actors, the new goals, and the new conceptions that have developed in the course of the renewed struggle for land in Latin America, since the 1968 world-wide cultural revolution. The article also examines the implications of this latest fight for land, especially when the conflict goes beyond the simple struggle for agrarian reform, or even the conquest of property in land for the people. These movements acquire a real and radical anticapitalist and antisystemic character by fighting for the total decommodification and desintrumentalization of this land under the radical conception of land as "Mother-Land" or "Pachamama."
