Qué Es Racismo
In the national consciousness, Ecuador is a mestizo nation. However, it is also an ethnically diverse nation with sizable minorities of indigenous and Afrodescended peoples. In national surveys, there is also a considerable minority who self-identify as blanco (white). Although there is strong evidence of continuing discrimination and prejudice toward both indigenous and Afro-descended peoples, there is little public discussion or political actio…
Pachakutik and the Rise and Decline of the Ecuadorian Indigenous Movement
One of the most important stories in Latin American studies today is the emergence of left-leaning social movements sweeping across Latin America includes the mobilization of militant indigenous politics. Formed in 1995 in Ecuador to advance the interests of a variety of people's organizations and to serve as an alternative to the country's traditional political parties, Pachakutik Plurinational Unity Movement (Pachakutik) is an indigenist-based …
Ecuador's Indians in the 1996 and 1998 Elections
Ecuador has been the site of the development of one of the most successful indigenous social movements in Latin America. In 1996 leaders of the most powerful indigenous organization, the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador (CONAIE), decided to enter electoral politics via a political movement called Pachakutik. This article analyzes electoral outcomes for Pachakutik in two national elections, 1996 and 1998, with an emphasis on th…
The Electoral Fortunes of Ecuador's Pachakutik Party
The Indigenous Vote in Ecuador's 2002 Presidential Election
The Ecuadorian Indian movement entered electoral politics in 1996 through the Pachakutik political party. For the 2002 presidential and congressional elections, Pachakutik made an alliance with ex-colonel and 2000 coup leader Lucio Gutiérrez. After a first-place finish in the first round, Gutiérrez went on to win the presidency in a run-off. This research seeks to determine whether the Indian movement, via Pachakutik, was able to transform its co…
Indigena Self-Identity in Ecuador and The Rejection of Mestizaje
Indigenous peoples of Ecuador have organized and mobilized over the past thirty years, partly to reshape their identities after centuries of domination. This research is a preliminary effort to explore the contemporary complexity of that identity. Best viewed as a quantitative case study, this analysis uses responses from seventy-six indigenous college students to a self-administered questionnaire. The authors found that indigenous students with …
Religious Heritage and Teenage Marriage
Religious Heritage and Premarital Sex

The Decomposition of Inequality by Class and By Occupation
Sociological research on earnings and income has focused on predicting individual income. Analyses most often use occupational status or class, along with other economically relevant variables, to explain earnings or income variations among individuals (income determination). Aggregate inequality (income distribution) has received considerably less attention, except in cross-national research. This especially holds for applying central concepts o…
The Incidence of Extended Households Among Middle-Aged Black and White Women
Much has been written in recent years about changes in family and household structure in the United States. Analyses based on census data or other cross sections indicate that fewer adults live in families, especially the nuclear family of husband, wife, and minor children. Analyses based on cross sections also indicate the relative rarity of extended households, especially three-generation families. In this descriptive analysis, data from the Na…
Mobility from Preretirement to Postretirement Job
While the normative pattern of retirement is complete cessation of labor force activity, approximately one-third of men work during their retirement. This research focuses on such “working-retirees” by investigating the prevalence and patterns of occupational mobility from pre- to postretirement job, as well as the impact that institutional constraints on (re)employment in later life may have on the chances of occupational mobility. Using data fr…
The Formation of Extended Households during Middle Age
Cross-sectional data on the composition of households do not allow for estimation of the incidence of certain household forms over a period of time. In this study data from the [U.S.] National Longitudinal Surveys of mature men are used to obtain an estimate of the incidence of extended households during middle age. The use of the longitudinal data generally indicates that the incidence of extended households over 10 years (1966-1976) is double t…
The Role of Other Family Members in Intergenerational Occupational Mobility
The concept of “occupational origin” has traditionally been measured by father's occupation only, especially in studies of occupational mobility. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the occupations of other family members are additional components of men's occupational origins Using data from the National Longitudinal Surveys of Mature Men, the traditional father-son mobility table was expanded to include paternal grandfathers' oc…
