Abstract

San Miguel de Allende (SMA) in Guanajuato, Mexico is one of the most visited heritage cities in the country. In this city live people who have migrated from the United States as a phenomenon of second home tourism that, together, with the tourism of the national elite, have triggered a series of dynamics in the territory ranging from real estate speculation, deterritorialization, the abandonment of local crops, agroextractivism, and water extractivism, involving various types of violence against the body-territory-land. Apart from these problems, this phenomenon has allowed food resistance to take off, coordinated mainly by women where the care economy emerges as a dialogue of resistance that is established through the preservation of seeds, the continuation with the work of the land in search territorial food, the consolidation of a network of people and spaces that combine the exchange of agro-ecological food and local handicrafts that are sustained from the action and articulation of women.
