The Colombian activist Juan Gregorio Palechor (1923-1992) dedicated
his life to championing indigenous rights in Cauca, a department in
the southwest of Colombia, where he helped found the Regional
Indigenous Council of Cauca. Recounting his life story in
collaboration with the Colombian anthropologist Myriam Jimeno,
Palechor traces his political awakening, his experiences in
national politics, the disillusionment that resulted, and his turn
to a more radical activism aimed at confronting ethnic
discrimination and fighting for indigenous territorial and
political sovereignty. Palechor's lively memoir is complemented by
Jimeno's reflections on autobiography as an anthropological tool
and on the oppressive social and political conditions faced by
Colombia's indigenous peoples. A faithful and fluent transcription
of Palechor's life story, this work is a uniquely valuable resource
for understanding the contemporary indigenous rights movements in
Colombia.
