The Indian question has come to the forefront of political agendas
in contemporary Latin America. In the process, indigenous movements
have emerged as important social actors, raising a variety of
demands on behalf of native peoples. Regardless of the situation of
Indian groups as small minorities or significant sectors, many
Latin American states have been forced to consider whether they
should have the same status as all citizens or whether they should
be granted special citizenship rights as Indians. This book
examines the struggle for indigenous rights in eight Latin American
countries. Initial studies of indigenous movements celebrated the
return of the Indians as relevant political actors, often
approaching their struggles as expressions of a common, generic
agenda. This collection moves the debate forward by acknowledging
the extraordinary diversity among the movements composition, goals,
and strategies. By focusing on the factors that shape this
diversity, the authors offer a basis for understanding the
specificities of converging and diverging patterns across different
countries. The case studies examine the ways in which the Indian
question arises in each country, with reference to the protagonism
of indigenous movements in the context of the threats and
opportunities posed by neoliberal policies. The complexities posed
by the varying demographic weight of indigenous populations, the
interrelation of class and ethnicity, and the interplay between
indigenous and popular struggles are discussed.
