El movimiento indígena y las cuestiones pendientes en América Latina

Abstract

In this essay, Quijano examines the political trajectory of the Indian resistance in Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador, describing the recurrent power crisis in terms of a colonialism crisis. He suggests that the achievement of autonomy and a pluriethnic state would not only mark the end of the Eurocentric nation-state, but also force the redefinition of both the national issue and the problem of political democracy.
