Abstract

"A narrative history of the unlikely Maoist rebellion that terrorized Peru long after the fall of global communism. The tale of the Shining Path may be the most gripping saga in modern Latin American history, but its full story has never been told. Described by a U.S. State Department cable as 'cold-blooded and bestial, ' this band of Marxist-Leninist-Maoist revolutionaries mounted a guerrilla war in the 1980s that led to more than 60,000 deaths or disappearances. At its helm was the professor-turned-revolutionary Abimael Guzmán, who launched his quixotic insurrection based on outmoded, dogmatic ideology alongside two women: his charismatic young wife, Augusta La Torre, and the formidable Elena Iparaguirre, who abandoned her family to join the war. Orin Starn and Miguel La Serna's narrative also introduces the mountain villagers who organized a fierce resistance, the mercurial black activist María Elena Moyano, and the Nobel Prize-winning novelist Mario Vargas Llosa. Dramatic and engaging, The Shining Path takes the reader into the heart of this brutal rebellion, and the lives and country it nearly destroyed"--

Abstract

A century ago, the idea of indigenous people as an active force in the contemporary world was unthinkable. It was assumed that native societies everywhere would be swept away by the forward march of the West and its own peculiar brand of progress and civilization. Nothing could be further from the truth. Indigenous social movements wield new power, and groups as diverse as Australian Aborigines, Ecuadorian Quichuas, and New Zealand Maoris, have found their own distinctive and assertive ways of living in the present world. Indigenous Experience Today draws together essays by prominent scholars in anthropology and other fields examining the varied face of indigenous politics in Bolivia, Botswana, Canada, Chile, China, Indonesia, and the United States, amongst others. The book challenges accepted notions of indigeneity as it examines the transnational dynamics of contemporary native culture and politics around the world.

Abstract

Durante los últimos siglos, muchas sociedades tribales han sido aniquiladas por la guerra, la enfermedad, la explotación y la asimilación cultural. Sin embargo, lejos de desaparecer, como alguna vez se vaticinó, los pueblos nativos hoy se muestran fortalecidos e incluso crecen en términos demográficos. Así, los pueblos indígenas han afirmado su lugar en la cultura, la economía y la política mundial del siglo XXI, a pesar de lo heterogéneo de sus opiniones y agendas. Los 15 artículos de este libro examinan los diversos rostros de la experiencia indígena actual en el mundo. Contrastando con la imagen de nativos arraigados en sus territorios originales, los capítulos aquí recogidos ofrecen un mapeo de las experiencias indígenas diaspóricas y la circulación mundial del discurso y la política de la indigeneidad. En vez de nociones acerca la "tradición nativa inmutable", los colaboradores muestran a los pueblos indígenas enfrentando la tensa dinámica entre ser clasificados por otros y los intentos de definirse a sí mismos dentro y en contra de un denso entramado de símbolos, fantasías y significados de la indigeneidad.
