Ethnicity is divided into three main sections, with editorial
introductions to each part. Part One includes readings of the
connections between ethnicity, nationality and memory, namely how
indigenous groups today and in the past chose to represent
themselves and their social environment, and how indigenous peoples
have responded to state-imposed national and ethnic identities
("various angles"). Part Two engages with contributions that centre
around how ethnicity is construed through ritual, geography, and
literary works ("various lenses"). Part Three sets out to explain
how indigenous knowledge becomes commodified, reinvented, and
re-appropriated from the "outside", namely NGOs, pharmaceutical
companies, and the state ("various angles"). The Essay
Contributions were first presented at the First Conference on
Ethnicity, Race, and Indigenous Peoples in Latin America and the
Caribbean (ERIP) organised by the Latin American Studies
Association (LASA), held at the University of California, San Diego
in 2008. This volume provides a rich and new reading of the several
ways in which ethnicity has been perceived and represented by
several historical actors, including indigenous peoples themselves,
and how ethnicity, in the wake of such varied realities and
perceptions, has been transformed over the course of time. It is
essential reading for all Latin American Studies practitioners.

In this book, Leon Zamosc provides an account of the history of
ANUC and its struggle on three main fronts: for land, for the
defence of the colonists, and for the protection of smallholders.
The main focus of the book is on the land struggles. Professor
Zamosc adopts a structural perspective, examining the agrarian
contradictions that propelled the peasant struggles, the changing
relationship between the peasant movement and the state, and the
political and ideological content of the peasant challenge. He
explores these issues in the light of the shifting patterns of
class alignments and antagonisms that marked the rise and decline
of peasant radicalism during the 1970s, and offers some suggestions
about the significance of ANUC's struggles for the understanding of
peasant movements in general.
