Abstract

The editorial of vol. 4, no. 7 of PatryTer ““ Latin American and Caribbean Journal of Geography and Humanities is dedicated to the memory of those who died from COVID-19 and their families, in addition to objectively pointing out some of the causes of the high number of deaths in our Latin countries. The COVID-19 pandemic is profoundly affecting the conditions of life and death in Latin America and the world. The dynamics of urban-rural flows, the uses of technologies, the view of health and the entire scientific apparatus dedicated to it, the interactions between states and governments, the forms of crisis management that derive from the pandemic throughout the planet and the position of the rulers are some of the key elements necessary to contextualize the profound implications on economic growth, social development and the life or death of people. In some way, the articles published in this vol. 4, no. 7 of PatryTer emphasize, through different and paradoxical uses of territory (shelter territory, space for all [Souza, 2019]), representative elements of these crises, ranging from macro-politics at the governmental level to popular resistance policies, in Brazil, Argentina, Mexico and Colombia, from various topics. The editorial effort of our magazine, in the four years of its existence, has been to denounce the crises reflected in urban territories, in the countryside and visions of “nature”, at different scales.
