In Struggles of Voice, José Antonio Lucero examines these two examples in order to understand their different patterns of indigenous mobilization and to reformulate the theoretical model by which we link political representation to social change. Lucero considers Ecuador's united indigenous movement and compares it to the more fragmented situation in Bolivia. He analyzes the mechanisms at work in political and social structures to explain the different outcomes in each case. Lucero assesses the intricacies of the many indigenous organizations and the influence of various NGOs to uncover how the conflicts within social movements, the shifting nature of indigenous identities, and the politics of transnationalism all contribute to the success or failure of political mobilization Analysis sociologie sociology ontwikkeling development latin america ecuador bolivia sociale verandering social change organisaties organizations non-governmental organizations inheemse volkeren indigenous people politieke bewegingen political movements Development Sociology Ontwikkelingssociologie Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 205-227) and index Notes Master and use copy.
