Indigenous Peoples and Democracy in Latin America

In a thoroughly documented, thoughtful, and analytically well informed series of essays, social scientists and indigenous intellectuals look at the complex interplay of ethnicity, social inequality, colonial ballast, and the tortuous process of democratization….This is a remarkable text that will become a required work for anybody interested in understanding the ethnic, social, and political complexities of Indo-Ibero America at the threshold of the third millennium.’ Stefano Varese, Professor of Native American Studies, University of California, Davis
