We are proud to present to readers with this Special Issue of Alternautas, ‘Indigenous and Afro-descendant Movements and Organisations in Latin America. Resisting, Performing and Re-purposing Dominant Categories’. In this issue we continue to publish critical research and alternative intellectual perspectives about Latin American development processes. We are pleased to have several new authors joining us this time from various parts of the world. The foci of this special issue are the political strategies, forms of resistance, and anti- political practices that indigenous and Afro-descendant communities across Latin America have developed to deal with diverse challenges presented to them by the state and the market. However, it is impossible to preface this issue without reflecting on the contemporary global crises that are currently affecting all of our lives in so many ways. The effects of Covid-19, since the first South American case was declared in São Paulo, Brazil on 26 February 2020, have been devastating. As we write this in August 2020, the epicentre of the Covid-19 pandemic is sweeping through the Amazon region of Brazil, Colombia and Peru. But the number of cases is also rampant in Colombia, Peru, Guatemala, and Bolivia, and there are now cases in every Latin American country. Some of the worst-affected areas are the marginalised rural and urban peripheral ones, where there tends to be high concentrations of indigenous and Afro-descendant populations. We clearly still have a lot to learn about this disease, and we do know that pandemics affect different populations in different ways, but what is becoming clear is the ethnic and racial inequalities that were already embedded in Latin American societies – such as higher levels of Preface | 6 malnutrition, difficulties in accessing health services, and precarious infrastructure – are going to be accentuated.1 Amadeo Martínez, the General Coordinator for the Abya Yala Indigenous Forum (FILAY), has already identified the very real threat that the pandemic poses for food security.2 This has led to calls by the United Nations and the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) for greater support and responses in the Amazon region. When we put all of this together, there is clearly a risk of new forms of violence and conflict beginning to emerge once resources, clean water, and food are in short supply. Responses to the Covid-19 crisis by Latin American governments have been patchy, to say the least. In just a couple of examples, the Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil (APIB) has accused the Bolsonaro government of a "fascist strategy", aimed at “cleaning up the area” to make way for a developmental project in the Amazon.3 Similarly, a public letter addressed to President Vizcarra in Peru by civil society organisations and indigenous groups have demanded urgent state resources and humanitarian action after five months of inaction.4 Intersecting with this very immediate crisis are more protracted issues of racial and ethnic hierarchy. However, these are shifting into sharper focus in dominant academic and policy-making discourse due to the momentum generated by the global Black Lives Matters movement. Although the movement is building in a number of developed societies, the sense of immediate moral outrage in Latin America appears far less widespread. News about the death of fourteen-year-old João Pedro Matos Pinto being killed by seventy police bullets on May 18, 2020 was clearly heart breaking. But the everyday, quotidian nature of ethnic and racial violence in Latin America has significantly different repercussions. 1 Hooper, Monica Webb, Anna María Nápoles, and Eliseo J. Pérez-Stable.

However, the continued neglect of Afro-descendant and indigenous communities treatment in relation to Covid-19 is another demonstration

Indigenous struggles are fighting and 'contesting’ modernity. I demonstrate that modernity and globalization, being ongoing processes, have impacted indigenous realities since the XVI century, and that the neo- liberalization of the Colombian economy during the 1990s implied a deeper penetration in indigenous localities. These political transitions, and the Colombian embrace of multiculturalism, have synergistically permeated indigenous social realities.

Together with the Indian and winner of the Alternative Nobel Prize Vandana Shiva she submitted her third report on India to the Committee in May 2008, according to reports on Austria and Canada. It includes dramatic human rights violations due to the use of agricultural biotechnology in India. More than 200,000 farmers in India have already taken their own lives because they had no choice to get out of increasing hunger and indebtedness after the use of genetic engineering in agriculture. The Indian government has been prompted to stop the use of genetic engineering immediately to protect farmers, consumers and the human rights. This time, the reaction of the committee members was very different: „ Miss Luest that is a huge problem!

  • The Pijao of Natagaima: Post-Linguicide Indigenous Identity and Language
    The Pijao of Natagaima: Post-Linguicide Indigenous Identity and Language Joshua James Zwisler Universidad del Tolima Abstract Linguicide is a government act that illegalizes the use of a language. In Colombia, indigenous languages were illegalized in all but the most remote regions until 1991. While all indigenous languages were seriously affected, the Pijao language disappeared completely. In the generations that followed, the Pijao suffered an immediate change to their social identity as indigenous people and their recognition as an indigenous people. This study examines the nature of indigenous identity and language loss in the Pijao community in Natagaima. This investigation, through focus groups, examined the relationship between language loss and current Pijao indigenous identity in addition to current language use and the perceived causes of the linguicide. What was discovered is that indigenous identity is dependent on being othered in relation to colonist identity and that language is the most powerful tool of this othering. In removing language as a tool of othering and fore/backgrounding, the indigenous community suffers an immediate change in its social identity and a progressive weakening in the generations that follow the linguicide. Additionally, it created the largest list to date of Pijao and provides an analysis of current Natagaima Pijao speech. Finally, it examines the Pijao linguicide and examines the conclusion that the creation of the official Pijao reserves may have influenced in the disappearance of the Pijao language. 1. Introduction In Colombia, the Pijao1 are depicted as having been the most aggressive and warlike nation in pre-Hispanic Colombia: nation of cannibals and river-folk whose demise allowed for the formation of the modern country (Lucena Salmoral, 1963; Universidad del Tolima, 2010, Universidad del Rosario, 2014).

La diversidad cultural se manifiesta por la variedad del lenguaje, de las prácticas para el manejo de la tierra y el agua, del arte, de la música, de las formas de organización social, de las prácticas alimentarias, de las cosmovisiones del mundo y de innumerables atributos de las sociedades humanas. Los conceptos de diversidad cultural y de biodiversidad consideran la multiplicidad de las culturas en una perspectiva sistémica, donde cada cultura se desarrolla y evoluciona en contacto con las otras. El término diversidad cultural ha sido utilizado para hacer referencia a la diversidad en el seno de un sistema cultural dado, para designar la multiplicidad de subculturas y de subpoblaciones de dimensiones variables que comparten un conjunto de valores y de ideas fundamentales. Igualmente, ha sido empleado en un contexto de mestizaje social, para describir la cohabitación de diferentes sistemas culturales, o por lo menos la existencia de otros grupos sociales importantes en el seno de las mismas fronteras geopolíticas (Ambrosi et al.
