Oil production in the northern Ecuadorian Amazon has facilitated the urbanization of some of the world's most biodiverse rainforests. New highways into the jungle, snaking pipelines, and population centers have followed in the wake of oil explorations and drilling over the last fifty years. Oil companies and the state have also sought indigenous consent to oil production in their territories in exchange for infrastructures, such as roads, electrification, and, in a few cases, urban-like settlements. Researchers, environmentalists, and engaged citizens have denounced urban development in indigenous territories as an unsustainable imposition of Western culture on otherwise isolated, unwilling or unwitting communities. However, such narratives overlook the social legacies of prior waves of colonial capitalism in the northern Amazon. Histories of racism and racial capitalism are often erased by ahistorical representations of the Amazon as a timeless, uniform space of pre-Hispanic cultures, effectively obscuring the violence that produced modern Amazonia. In this dissertation, I detail the history of an indigenous community of subsistence farmers, fisher-people, and hunters that recently negotiated with the state oil company to receive an urban-like settlement in the rainforest. I describe their newfound hardships in a place at the far margins of market society, where they lack food, money, and maintenance, and I document nostalgia for farm life. Yet, by the same token, I describe their collective struggles to sustain this so-called "Millennium City," rather than abandon it. For generations, racism has been a motor driving these families to pursue integration into market relations, Western education, and urban spaces, as strategies to mitigate the physical and symbolic violence of dominant, white society. Today, negotiations over oil production between indigenous communities, the state, and companies in the northern Amazon unfold on an uneven social terrain shaped by centuries of oppression. This dissertation draws on multiple periods of fieldwork over six years that included interviews, video ethnography, and focus groups in the Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve, as well as archival research in the Amazon and Andes.

520 $a La produccion de petroleo en el norte de la Amazonia ecuatoriana ha facilitado la urbanizacion de algunas de las selvas tropicales mas biodiversas del mundo. Nuevas carreteras en la selva, oleoductos y centros de poblacion han seguido el auge de las exploraciones y perforaciones petroleras de los ultimos cincuenta anos. Las companias petroleras y el estado tambien han buscado el consentimiento de comunidades indigenas para la produccion de petroleo en sus territorios a cambio de infraestructuras, como carreteras, electrificacion y, en algunos casos, asentamientos semi-urbanos. Los investigadores, los ecologistas y los ciudadanos han denunciado el desarrollo urbano en los territorios indigenas como una imposicion insostenible de la cultura occidental en comunidades que de otro modo estarian aisladas. Sin embargo, esos relatos pasan por alto los legados sociales de anteriores oleadas de capitalismo colonial en el norte de la Amazonia. Las historias de racismo y capitalismo racial suelen ser borradas por las representaciones a-historicas de la Amazonia como si fuera un espacio uniforme de culturas prehispanicas, asimismo ocultando la violencia que produjo la Amazonia moderna. En esta disertacion, detallo la historia de una comunidad indigena de agricultores, pescadores y cazadores de subsistencia que recientemente negocio con la empresa petrolera estatal para recibir un asentamiento de tipo urbano en la selva. Describo sus nuevas dificultades en un lugar en los margenes de la sociedad de mercado, donde carecen de alimentos, dinero y mantenimiento, y documento la nostalgia por la vida agricola. A su vez, describo sus luchas colectivas para mantener esta llamada "Ciudad del Milenio", en lugar de abandonarla. Durante generaciones, el racismo ha sido un motor que ha llevado a familias de esta region a buscar la integracion en las relaciones de mercado, la educacion occidental y los espacios urbanos, como estrategias para mitigar la violencia fisica y simbolica de la sociedad blanca dominante. Hoy en dia, las negociaciones sobre la produccion de petroleo entre las comunidades indigenas, el Estado y las empresas del norte de la Amazonia se desarrollan en un terreno social desigual configurado por siglos de opresion. Esta disertacion se basa en multiples periodos de trabajo de campo a lo largo de seis anos que incluyeron entrevistas, etnografia filmica y grupos de discusion en la Reserva de Produccion de Fauna - Cuyabeno, asi como investigacion de archivos en la Amazonia y los Andes.
