"Highland Indians and the State in Modern Ecuador" chronicles
the changing forms of indigenous engagement with the Ecuadorian
state since the early nineteenth century that, by the beginning of
the twenty-first century, had facilitated the growth of the
strongest unified indigenous movement in Latin America.
Built around nine case studies from nineteenth- and
twentieth-century Ecuador, "Highland Indians and the State in
Modern Ecuador" presents state formation as an uneven process,
characterized by tensions and contradictions, in which Indians and
other subalterns actively participated. It examines how indigenous
peoples have attempted, sometimes successfully, to claim control
over state formation in order to improve their relative position in
society. The book concludes with four comparative essays that place
indigenous organizational strategies in highland Ecuador within a
larger Latin American historical context.
"Highland Indians and the State in Modern Ecuador" offers an
interdisciplinary approach to the study of state formation that
will be of interest to a broad range of scholars who study how
subordinate groups participate in and contest state
formation.
