“…Community mapping arose as a methodological tool for both scholarly research and political action in the early 1990s in Brazil (A. Almeida, 2021), especially in the Amazon; see, for example, the influential Projeto Nova Cartografia Social da Amazônia (New Social Cartography of the Amazon Project), initiated in 2005 (PNCSA, n.d.). In collaboration with anthropologists, geographers, and other researchers, Indigenous, traditional, and Afro‐descendant communities adopted social‐cartography practices for their territorial defense, political organizing, and social movements, both in the Amazon (e.g., Bargas and Cardoso e Cardoso, 2015) and in other parts of Brazil (e.g., R. Almeida and Souza, 2017; Neves and Fialho, 2018). Other recent social‐cartography projects in Brazil have sought to document, recognize, and systematize local knowledge using historical maps, geographic information systems (GIS) science, and digital technologies (e.g., Cortines et al., 2018; Milagres, Ferreira Neto, and Sousa, 2020; Muniz, 2021).…”
