Contemporary Indigenous Movements in Latin America. ERICK D. LANGER, ELENA MUÑOZ (eds.). Wilmington, DE. 2003.

Resumen

Since the controversy surrounding the Columbus Quincentenary back in 1992, there has been renewed interest in the analysis of contemporary indigenous movements throughout the Americas, above all in the so-called "nuclear" Latin American regions of Mesoamerica and the Andes. Most of these studies of new phenomena of indigenous ethnicity, the participation of indigenous communities in broader social movements and their struggles for retaining or recovering regional autonomy are generally monographs that focus on particular regions or national settings.
