Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This seminar will examine indigenous peoples’ social movements in Latin America. Indigenous peoples form a sizable and well-organized minority in many Latin American countries, such as Ecuador, Peru, Mexico, Colombia and Chile, and represent a majority of the population in Bolivia and Guatemala. Their political and cultural movements have gained international visibility in recent years most notably though the Zapatista uprising in Mexico and the democratic election of Evo Morales as first indigenous president in the history of Bolivia. Indigenous survival, resistance and mobilization have deep historical roots in the experience of conquest, colonization and state formation. We will evaluate these topics in the first part of our course. In the second part we will study four of the most significant movements in Latin America. Empirically, the seminar focuses on those regions with the highest concentrations of indigenous population: Mesoamerica (Guatemala and the Mexican state of Chiapas), and the Central Andes (Ecuador and Bolivia). The last part of this seminar considers themes that cut across indigenous movements throughout Latin America, such as relations with the state, constructions of ethnic and national identities, organizational strategies and their impact to the development of democracy. All themes we analyze and discuss in a global perspective. Thus, in the last session we summarize these global aspects of the Latin American indigenous movements.
