Indigenous people in Colombia constitute a mere three percent of
the national population. Colombian indigenous communities' success
in gaining collective control of almost thirty percent of the
national territory is nothing short of extraordinary. In Managing
Multiculturalism, Jean E. Jackson examines the evolution of the
Colombian indigenous movement over the course of her forty-plus
years of research and fieldwork, offering unusually developed and
nuanced insight into how indigenous communities and activists
changed over time, as well as how she the ethnographer and scholar
evolved in turn. The story of how indigenous organizing began,
found its voice, established alliances, and won battles against the
government and the Catholic Church has important implications for
the indigenous cause internationally and for understanding all
manner of rights organizing. Integrating case studies with
commentaries on the movement's development, Jackson explores the
politicization and deployment of multiculturalism, indigenous
identity, and neoliberalism, as well as changing conceptions of
cultural value and authenticity—including issues such as
patrimony, heritage, and ethnic tourism. Both ethnography and
recent history of the Latin American indigenous movement, this
works traces the ideas motivating indigenous movements in regional
and global relief, and with unprecedented breadth and depth.
