Manuel Quintín Lame (1880–1967) a lutté sa vie entière contre l’accaparement colonial des terres. Son combat a ouvert la voie à la reconnaissance des terres autochtones dans la Constitution colombienne de 1991.Dans ce texte profondément « métis », qui relève tout autant de la prophétie biblique, du plaidoyer juridique, du manifeste insurgé, que du traité spirituel nasa, Quintín Lame offre une réflexion sur les conditions de possibilité de la libération indienne. Car la Conquête n’a pas pris fin avec les indépendances et l’avènement de la République : les savoirs, les institutions et les formes de vie des communautés autochtones ont continué d’être infériorisés, au nom du progrès et de la civilisation. Source majeure au sein du vaste mouvement décolonial latino-américain, Les Pensées ne portent pas seulement sur les conditions de vie dans une société marquée par la race ; elles ouvrent à d’autres façons de faire monde. Le testament politique et mystique d’un des plus importants leaders autochtones d’Amérique latine

Combining historiography and political theory, this book compares different strands of Machiavelli's reception in South and North America, and between Hispanic America and Spain. It provides new insight into Machiavelli's writings and how they have been read in different contexts. The book analyses these readings focusing on some specific themes including: the relationship between politics and morals; the links between political power and freedom; debates about political realism; reflections on liberalism and republicanism; and conceptions of time and history. The book argues that Machiavelli had a significant impact on both liberal and anti-liberal authors from Argentina and Spain. For liberals, he represented a synonym of tyranny but also, in opposite way, he had offered a synthesis between republicanism and liberalism. For anti-liberals, he was associated with Modernity and liberalism. Explores the reception of Machiavelli's works in modern Latin America and Spanish-speaking political thought between 1880 and 1940.

""The Tropical Silk Road" captures an epochal juncture of two of the world's most transformative processes: the People's Republic of China's rapidly expanding sphere of influence across the global south and the disintegration of the Amazonian, Cerrado, and Andean biomes. The intersection of these two processes took another step in April 2020, when Chinese President Xi Jinping launched a "New Health Silk Road" agenda of aid and investment that would wind through South America, extending the Eurasian-African "Belt and Road Initiative" to the Latin American tropics. How will this new tropical Silk Road shape political alliances, social landscapes, and ecological futures in South America? Through thirty short essays, this volume brings together an impressive array of contributors, from economists, anthropologists, and political scientists to Black, feminist, and Indigenous community organizers, Chinese stakeholders, environmental activists, and local journalists to offer a pathbreaking analysis of China's presence in South America that covers a wide range of topics, including humanitarian aid, agribusiness, and extractive industry-mineral mining, fossil fuel tapping, and port and transport infrastructure. As cracks in the progressive legacy of the Pink Tide and the failures of ecocidal right-wing populisms shape new political economies and geopolitical possibilities, this book provides a grassroots-based account of a post-U.S. centered world order, and an accompanying map of the stakes for South America that highlights emerging voices and forms of resistance"--

Peruvian Foreign Policy in the Modern Era is a chronological treatment of Peruvian foreign policy from 1990 to the present. It focuses on the impact of domestic politics, economic interests, security concerns, and alliance diplomacy on contemporary Peruvian foreign policy.

In common with other Latin American states, sovereignty, territorial integrity, regionalism, continental solidarity, and economic independence were core goals of Peruvian foreign policy after independence. In modern times, successive Peruvian governments have continued to address these and related issues in a foreign policy grounded in pragmatism and notable for its emphasis on a rational combination of continuity and change. The Fujimori administration (1990-2000) set the stage for this shift in the direction, tone, and content of the nation's foreign policy with successor administrations refining and building upon the initiatives launched by Fujimori.
