This book provides a detailed treatment of an important topic that
has received no scholarly attention: the surprising transformation
of indigenous peoples' movements into viable political parties in
the 1990s in four Latin American countries (Bolivia, Colombia,
Ecuador, Venezuela) and their failure to succeed in two others
(Argentina, Peru). The parties studied are crucial components of
major trends in the region. By providing to voters clear programs
for governing, and reaching out in particular to under-represented
social groups, they have enhanced the quality of democracy and
representative government. Based on extensive original research and
detailed historical case studies, the book links historical
institutional analysis and social movement theory to a study of the
political systems in which the new ethnic cleavages emerged. The
book concludes with a discussion of the implications for democracy
of the emergence of this phenomenon in the context of declining
public support for parties.
