  • Indigenous Movements from Oppressed Nationalities
    From Oppressed Nationalities to Ethno-Nationalists: Historicizing Ecuador’s Indigenous Movement Marc Becker 3209 Atwood Ave Madison, WI 53704 608-244-7817 [email protected] December 5, 2007 Abstract: Activists and academics alike celebrated the consolidation of an ethno-nationalist identity among Ecuador’s Indigenous movements in the 1980s and 1990s as a novel and important development in the Andes. Many people, however, are unaware of the deeper historical roots of this discourse. In the 1920s the Moscow-based Communist International constructed Indigenous peoples as a nationality, and advocated an independent Indigenous republic in the Andes. By the 1930s Indigenous and leftist activists in Ecuador had made that construction their own as they commonly began to refer to Indigenous nationalities. Although little noted, this discourse persisted in leftist circles throughout the twentieth century. What emerged at the end of the century was not so much a new way of constructing identities, but a return to time-proven methods of organizing popular movements. Thus, it is not a break from the past but successfully building on previous struggles that explains a strong Indigenous movement in Ecuador. Bio: Marc Becker is an associate professor of Latin American History at Truman State University, Missouri’s premier, highly selective liberal arts institution. He writes and teaches about race, class, and gender in popular movements in Latin America. He has a forthcoming book from Duke University Press on the history of Indigenous movements in twentieth-century Ecuador. He is the Chair of the Andean Studies committee of the Conference on Latin American History (CLAH), and a council member of the Ethnicity, Race and Indigenous Peoples (ERIP) section of the Latin American Studies Association (LASA).

An Analysis of the Different Meanings of Autonomy in Bolivia, and their Impact on the Autonomy Regime. This thesis explores the diverse meanings attached to the concept of autonomy in Bolivia. Different sectors of society at the state level, and individuals from indigenous nations at the local level –in particular the Monkoxt of Lomerío–, attach different meanings, expectations and hopes to autonomy. This thesis analyzes how the different understandings have impacted the implementation of the autonomy system, and it also explores how they may influence the future of the autonomy model in Bolivia.

  • Poesía Peruana Quechua Última Y Neoliberalismo (1980-2007)
    Vol. 10, No. 3, Spring 2013, 54-73 www.ncsu.edu/project/acontracorriente Peruvian Quechua Poetry (1993-2008): Cultural Agency in Central Andes1 Ulises Zevallos Aguilar Ohio State University 1 This article is based on a presentation which took place at the Symposium: “The Global Script of Indigenous Identities: Local Literacies, Oral Languages, and the Written Word”. Michigan State University, East Lansing, October 30, 2008. The introduction and consolidation of neoliberalism in Peru was carried out by several democratic governments during the last two decades of the twentieth century. Although the political parties have collapsed, new social movements mobilized, defending their own social agendas. Among them, Amazonian, Aymara and Quechua Movements started to organize independently in a micropolitical strategy. The celebration and condemnation of the quincentenerary of Christopher Columbus’ arrival in the Americas in 1492 contributed to their development. Foundations and international organizations supported indigenous movements’ condemnations of this date, with many organizations making economic aid contingent upon governments’ planning economic and social programs for indigenous peoples. In this way, government offices and NGOs had to develop specific programs for ethnic groups. Without their integration it would have been impossible to receive loans and donations. At the same time, indigenous agency, known as globalization from below, had broken national boundaries. Indigenous immigrants have also contributed to the consolidation of their communities and the emergence of new cultural practices abroad and in their places of origin. Peruvian Quechua Poetry (1993-2008) 55 In recent decades there has been a diminishing of linguistic and cultural diglossia between Quechua and Spanish in the Central and Southern Peru that has made possible the establishment of permanent centers of Quechua literary activity.

  • THE RAINBOW FLAG of the INCAS by Gustav Tracchia
    THE RAINBOW FLAG OF THE INCAS by Gustav Tracchia PROLOGUE: The people of this pre-Columbian culture that flourished in the mid- Andes region of South America (known as The Empire of The Incas) called their realm: Tawantinsuyo, meaning the four corners. The word INCA is Quechua for Lord or King and was attached to the name of the ruler e.g., Huascar Inca or Huayna Capac Inca. In Quechua, the official language of the empire; Suyo is corner and Tawa, number four. Ntin is the way to form the plural. Fig. 1 Map of the Tawantinsuyo Wikipedia, (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/file:inca expansion.png) 1 Gustav Tracchia The "four corners" or suyos radiated from the capital, Cuzco: - Chincasuyo: Northwest Peru, present day Ecuador and the tip of Southern Colombia. - Contisuyo: nearest to Cuzco, south-central within the area of modern Peru. - Antisuyo: almost as long as Chincansuyo but on the eastern side of the Andes, from northern Peru to parts of upper eastern Bolivia. - Collasuyo: Southwest: all of western Bolivia, northern Chile and northwest of Argentina. Fig. 2 Cobo, Historia, schematic division of the four suyos 2 The Rainbow Flag of the Incas Fig. 3 Map of Tawantinsuyo, overlapping present day South American political division. ()www.geocities.com/Tropics/beach/2523/maps/perutawan1.html To simplify, I am going to call this still mysterious pre-Columbian kingdom, not Tawantinsuyo, but the "Empire of the Incas" or "The Inca Empire." I am also going to refer to events related to the culture of the Incas as "Incasic" or "Incan".
