Built around nine case studies from nineteenth- and twentieth-century Ecuador, Highland Indians and the State in Modern Ecuador presents state formation as an uneven process, characterized by tensions and contradictions, in which Indians and other subalterns actively participated. It examines how indigenous peoples have attempted, sometimes successfully, to claim control over state formation in order to improve their relative position in society. The book concludes with four comparative essays that place indigenous organizational strategies in highland Ecuador within a larger Latin American historical context. Highland Indians and the State in Modern Ecuador offers an interdisciplinary approach to the study of state formation that will be of interest to a broad range of scholars who study how subordinate groups participate in and contest state formation Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Print version record Subject Indians of South America -- Ecuador -- Sierra -- History Indians, Treatment of -- Ecuador -- Sierra -- History Indians of South America -- Ecuador -- Sierra -- Government relations HISTORY -- Latin America -- South America.
