Cauca's Indigenous Movement in Southwestern Colombia: Land,
Violence, and Ethnic Identity provides a vivid account of how the
indigenous communities of Cauca in southwestern Colombia engaged
with the Colombian central state. Troyan begins with the question
of how 3.4 percent of the Colombian population obtained legal
rights to close to a quarter of the national territory. Her
in-depth study of the correspondence between the central state and
indigenous communities of Cauca reveals that the nation state
played a key role in the legitimization of land claims based on
ethnic identity. Starting with the indigenous movement led by
Manuel Quintin Lame in 1914, this book shows how, in contrast to
the local authorities of Cauca, the central state adopted a more
sympathetic albeit contradictory approach to indigenous
communities' grievances throughout the twentieth century. Land,
Violence, and Cauca's Indigenous Movement in Southwestern Colombia
presents an examination of state initiatives in the 1930s, 1950s,
1960s, and 1970s toward indigenous communities in Cauca, which
sheds light on the political and social construction of Colombian
indigenous identity. Troyan also reveals how violence and the
representation of violence shaped the conversations between the
central state and indigenous communities of Cauca; the central
state's inability to exert a monopoly on violence, Troyan argues,
places indigenous communities and their leaders in jeopardy despite
the discursive legitimization of land claims based on ethnic
identity.
