Descripciones mejoradas de Syndetics:

The studies in this volume explore the implications for democracy in Latin America, showing how the systematic exclusion of indigenous people from democratic institutions in society has perpetuated conflict between ethnic groups--in itself a problem for democratizing countries. A key question raised is whether policies that protect the interests of distinct subcultures or policies that strive to unify national interests are more likely to reinforce democracy. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Library Journal Review

This work seeks to explain the particular characteristics of indigenous peoples in Latin America, their relationship to democratic development in the region, and the issues that sparked the January 1994 popular uprising in Chiapas, Mexico. Editor Van Cott, an associate of the Inter-American Dialogue, succeeds in providing a broad, well-written overview for the general reader, linked together by her policy-oriented introduction and an interesting chapter on the connection between Latin American and international indigenous groups. These descriptive essays cover Bolivia, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, Brazil, and Paraguay, countries with important indigenous populations, unifying many themes for the first time in a single source. Highly recommended for academic Latin American collections.-Roderic A. Camp, Latin American Ctr., Tulane Univ., New Orleans (c) Copyright 2010.
