How can historically marginalized groups achieve substantive representation in current democratic systems? This book will offer a new model of understanding the substantive representation of marginalized groups that is explicitly comparative, intersectional and dynamic. It will do so through empirical research on when and how two historically marginalized groups – women and indigenous peoples – have achieved substantive representation in three Latin American countries: Colombia, Ecuador and Peru.
