Current socio-environmental movement: Culture and Migration - Vol. X

When we started to organize the Socioenvironmentalism of Frontiers series, back in 2012, the idea was to stimulate the academic production of master's students linked, mainly, to the Graduate Program in Environmental Law at the University of the State of Amazonas. The organizers' conception changed over time and the series started to gather research freely developed by authors/collaborators from the region (or from other places), as long as they were interested in the socio-environmental problems of the Amazon.

In these ten years, the profile of research has changed, often revealing a thematic coincidence allied with transversal concerns of our society and region. Texts on environmental and indigenous law, human rights, migrations, ecology, geomorphology, economics and anthropology were revealed. There were many contributions from areas close to the law to provide a better understanding of the complex Amazonian reality.

During this period, the series has survived many adversities, including the pandemic and the changes in personal and professional life patterns that everyone has faced. Changes in the regional political and economic scenario fostered a conflictive environment. Migrations, health, mining and logging in indigenous lands, in addition to the pressure for development in the countryside, began to occupy academic discussions.

So, once again, the organizers gathered material on the series' areas of interest, producing this volume, the tenth and final one. We will not talk about the articles here, unlike the previous volumes, but we will take care of the farewell.

Ending a ten-year editorial project brings a mix of nostalgia and hope. I miss the dealings with the collaborators, the review work and all the discussion that this brought. It is a feeling of loss, but of the absence of something good, which ended in its time, without losing quality and maintaining the commitment to present original research with a socio-environmental and regional focus.

Hope is for new projects. It has been some years since the research base of the organizers and a good part of the collaborators moved to the State University of Roraima, more specifically, in the Law course and in the Professional Master's Degree in Public Security, Human Rights and Citizenship at UERR. Thus, new collaborations and new areas of research were born, until then little explored in this editorial project.

It is no coincidence that the work was sent for publication by Editora da UERR, giving prestige to our house and at the same time, strengthening a new academic partnership.

The cycle has closed, but some legacies remain. It is undeniable that many research partnerships have strengthened and will continue to grow stronger over time. On the other hand, it is possible that in ten years of constant publications, the more than 100 articles selected reasonably and mainly represent local concerns about the incipient research in law.

Thus, we thank the readers and all the collaborators that we had the honor of publishing, as well as Editora Juruá, which supported the idea by publicizing and selling the previous books.
