Tracing the political origins of the Mexican indigenous rights
movement, from the colonial encounter to the Zapatista uprising,
and from Chiapas to Geneva, Courtney Jung locates indigenous
identity in the history of Mexican state formation. She argues that
indigenous identity is not an accident of birth but a political
achievement that offers a new voice to many of the world's poorest
and most dispossessed. The moral force of indigenous claims rests
not on the existence of cultural differences, or identity, but on
the history of exclusion and selective inclusion that constitutes
indigenous identity. As a result, the book shows that privatizing
or protecting such groups is a mistake and develops a theory of
critical liberalism that commits democratic government to active
engagement with the claims of culture. This book will appeal to
scholars and students of political theory, philosophy, sociology,
and anthropology studying multiculturalism and the politics of
culture.
