Mobilizing Ethnic Identity in the Andes examines why some groups
choose to organize themselves based on ethnic identity, that is,
why ethnic identities are mobilized and politicized by some
populations and not others. It demonstrates that the mobilization
of ethnic identity is a political choice, and it is not necessarily
the first or natural choice of a group of people who have
grievances with their government. The book provides an argument as
to when that choice to mobilize an ethnic, as opposed to some other
type of identity, is made by looking at Indigenous populations in
Ecuador and Peru. It asks the question under what conditions are
ethnic identities mobilized to address grievances? The argument put
forward in this book is that ethnic identity is not an automatic
"go to" identity on the part of movement activists or potential
members. Movement leaders build a collective identity through
consciousness-raising and meaningful framing of symbols. They also
shape or take advantage of opportunities to advance the claims and
grievances of the community to a broader audience, at least some of
whom endorse the validity of the movement. Ethnic identities are
then politicized by the ways in which the community interacts with
others in the political system, and with the system itself.
