Description
- Abstract:
- The author discusses rising indigenous people's rights movement against oppression and globalization projects in Latin America particularly Bolivia. Aside from legal recognition, she mentions that indigenous communities fought for local autonomy and political representation in the 1990s. She describes globalization threats and challenges affecting these communities which include state power expansion, displacement due to infrastructure construction, and militarization of national borders. In response to their protests, she reports that indigenous groups in Ecuador have been given significant land rights while indigenous leaders in Bolivia earned national political power.
