Short description:
Bringing together the expertise of dozens of Latin American scholars, Latin America's Multicultural Movements examines multicultural rights recognition in theory and in practice. Yucatán).
MoreLong description:
Throughout the Americas, indigenous people have been arguing that they should be entitled, as "first peoples, " to representation in local, national, and international fora in a capacity different from that of other civil society groups. Latin America's Multicultural Movements is a collection of empirically-based chapters that advance debates concerning multiculturalism and indigenous and minority group rights in Latin America by looking at the struggle between communitarianism, autonomy, and human rights. Rather than advancing a particular argument for or against multiculturalism, the book includes contributions from top Latin American scholars with a range of ideological positions to provide a comparative set of perspectives on the issue. While the book addresses highly polemical debates, it does so in a way that moves beyond the ideological clashes that characterize most of the literature and invites readers to explore how multicultural reforms affect people in their everyday lives, as well as in political parties, elected offices, and interest groups. The chapters, which include case studies from Mexico, Bolivia and Ecuador, look at the controversial role of the state regarding multicultural rights and discuss whether the state enables or hinders the advancement of multicultural rights.
This book offers an insightful analysis of recent reforms in Latin America that have expanded the state's recognition of multicultural rights, customary law and indigenous autonomy. While these reforms are often studied in isolation, the editors adopt a more ambitious research design, bringing together scholars who have examined similar reforms in the two different parts of Latin America where multicultural policies have gone the furthest: Mexico and the Central Andes. Based on original research at the sub-municipal, municipal and national levels in these two regions, the volume offers compelling answers to some of the most important questions posed by multicultural reforms.
