This book presents a challenging view of the adoption and co-option
of multiculturalism in Latin America from six scholars with
extensive experience of grassroots movements and intellectual
debates. It raises serious questions of theory, method, and
interpretation for both social scientists and policymakers on the
basis of cases in Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, and Ecuador.
Multicultural policies have enabled people to recover the land of
their ancestors, administer justice in accordance with their
traditions, provide recognition as full citizens of the nation, and
promote affirmative action to enable them to take the place in
society which is theirs by right. The message of this book is that
while the multicultural response has done much to raise the
symbolic recognition of indigenous and Afro-descendant peoples
nationally and internationally, its application calls for a
profound reappraisal in spheres such as land, gender, institutional
design, and equal opportunities. Written by scholars with long-term
and in-depth engagement in Latin America, the chapters show that
multicultural theories and policies, which assume racial and
cultural boundaries to be clear-cut, overlook the pervasive reality
of racial and cultural mixture and place excessive confidence in
identity politics.
