  • 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.

  • 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".

  • The Aymara Year Count: Calendrical Translations in Tiwanaku, Bolivia
    THE AYMARA YEAR COUNT: CALENDRICAL TRANSLATIONS IN TIWANAKU, BOLIVIA Clare A. Sammells Bucknell University This article considers the Aymara year count that appeared in Bolivian newspapers in 1988 in connection with June solstice celebrations at the pre- Columbian archaeological site of Tiwanaku. The Aymara year communicates politico-temporal meanings; its numbers are evocative, which is why it has gained traction as an accepted part of solstice celebrations in the media and with the Bolivian public. The Aymara year count is a numeric expression of three implicit interrelated political statements. First, it shows that the Aymara have a history that reaches far deeper than their involvement with European conquerors. Second, it links Aymara history to broader pan-indigenous histories. Finally, it demonstrates to non-indigenous audiences that Aymara history, astronomy, and mathematics are rational and sophisticated. This final claim is achieved by using timekeeping to translate very real Tiwanakota accomplishments into an idiom understandable to national and international audiences. The Aymara year count is not used as a method of quantitative timekeeping. Instead, it forms part of the politics that invoke the past. (Bolivia, Tiwanaku, Aymara, indigenous politics, calendars, time, numbers) Numbers give the appearance of universality, although this is a cultural construction. Numbers are the stuff of math, but they also convey meanings with important political and social ramifications. Numbers and statistics offer the illusion of transcending social divides by appearing to cross linguistic boundaries. “57” may be pronounced differently in English, Spanish, and French, but is written the same and refers to the same quantity. Numbers are assumed to be the universal language in which one can conduct transnational commerce and even extraterrestrial diplomacy.

Such events—like Bolivia’s 2003 Gas War protests—can be both pinnacle moments in the life of social movements and the crime scenes for severe human rights violations. Over six weeks in September and October 2003, the country experienced both an unprecedented scale of political participation and the deadliest period out of four decades of democratic rule. One in seven Bolivians joined protests demanding the end of neoliberal economic policies, the nationalization of gas resources, a new constitution, and political inclusion of the country’s indigenous majority. However, President Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada moved to criminalize longstanding forms of protest, and orchestrated a military response that killed at least 59 civilians.

  • Indigenous Identities and Politico-Juridical Demands of CSUTCB and CONAMAQ in the Constitutional Change Process of Bolivia ABSTR
    T'inkazos vol.4 no.se La Paz 2008 Indigenous identities and politico-juridical demands of CSUTCB and CONAMAQ in the constitutional change process of Bolivia Identidades indígenas y demandas político-jurídicas de la CSUTCB y el CONAMAQ en la Constituyente boliviana ABSTRACT This article has the aim of improving the understanding about indigenous identities and their interrelations with current politico-juridical demands of indigenous organizations. Proposals of structural transformations of the Bolivian state, which have been constructed, approved and defended by indigenous and rural sectors of society during the constitutional change process, will be examined. RESUMEN Este artículo tiene el objetivo de mejorar la comprensión sobre las identidades indígenas y sus demandas político-jurídicas, gran parte de ellas históricas, a partir de la aproximación a las propuestas de transformaciones estructurales del Estado boliviano que los sectores indígenas originarios campesinos han construido, consensuado, propuesto y defendido a lo largo del proceso constituyente. Almut Schilling-Vacaflor 1 Based on the assumption that cultural identities and political spheres are interrelated, in the present article I will examine the connections between indigenous identities and politico-juridical demands in the case of the Bolivian constitutional change process. The focus is laid on two organizations that define themselves as indigenous: CONAMAQ (Consejo Nacional de Ayllus y Markas del Qullasuyu) and CSUTCB (Confederación Sindical Única de Trabajadores Campesinos de Bolivia). These are the core organizations in representing the Quechua and Aymara population of Bolivia and both were involved in the constitutional change process. In a first moment I will argue that indigenous organizations should not be conceived as a “monolithic block” and that in each of them a particular concept of the cultural identity of its members and about the desired transformations of state is predominant.
