One of the most important stories in Latin American studies today
is the emergence of left-leaning social movements sweeping across
Latin America includes the mobilization of militant indigenous
politics. Formed in 1995 in Ecuador to advance the interests of a
variety of people's organizations and to serve as an alternative to
the country's traditional political parties, Pachakutik
Plurinational Unity Movement (Pachakutik) is an indigenist-based
movement and political party. In this critical work, Kenneth J.
Mijeski and Scott H. Beck evaluate the successes and failures
experienced by Ecuador's Indians in their quest to transform the
state into a participative democracy that would address the needs
of the country's long-ignored and impoverished majority, both
indigenous and nonindigenous. Using a powerful statistical
technique and in-depth interviews with political activists, the
authors show that the political election game failed to advance the
cause of either Ecuador's poor majority or the movement's own
indigenous base. Pachakutik and the Rise and Decline of the
Ecuadorian Indigenous Movement is an extraordinarily valuable case
study that examines the birth, development, and in this case,
waning of Ecuador's indigenous movement. The mobilization of
militant indigenous politics is one of the most important stories
in Latin American studies today. In this critical work, Kenneth J.
Mijeski and Scott H. Beck examine the rise and decline of Ecuador's
leading indigenous party, Pachakutik, as it tried to transform the
state into a participative democracy. Using in-depth interviews
with political activists, as well as a powerful statistical
analysis of election results, the authors show that the political
election game failed to advance the causes of Ecuador's poor or the
movement's own indigenous supporters. Pachakutik and the Rise and
Decline of the Ecuadorian Indigenous Movement is an extraordinarily
valuable case study of Ecuador's indigenous movement and the
challenges it still faces.
