La Ley Indígena de 1977 en Costa Rica: Origen y negociación en el contexto de los años 1970
This article identifies some of the political and social factors that made it possible for Costa Rica to pass a 1977 law recognizing specific rights for “indigenous communities”. Titled Indigenous Act, it was considered very progressive for its time and it remains in effect to this day. Despite constituting the main legal reference dictating the relationship between the state and the indigenous peoples, no study has been found dedicated to explai…
Por el halago del voto popular». Participación electoral indígena en Talamanca, Costa Rica, 1919-1948

To Be Indio in Colonial Spanish America
This book brings together the work of 11 authors. Of the nine main essays, six deal with the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, one each focuses on the early sixteenth century and the eighteenth century, and another spans the seventeenth and the early nineteenth centuries. Five of the nine essays focus on Mexico, three examine Peru, and one considers both countries. This narrow focus on the two core areas of the Spanish empire is a s…
Entre el indigenismo y las compañías bananeras internacionales: El origen de las reservas indígenas en Costa Rica, 1907-1956
Desde su independencia Costa Rica ha pregonado las raíces europeas y la pureza racial de sus habitantes, al mismo tiempo que ha soslayado a sus pobladores indígenas y afrodescendientes. Sin embargo, en 1956 el Gobierno empezó a reconocer los derechos territoriales de los indígenas, al delimitar algunas reservas para ellos. Las explicaciones que hasta ahora se han ofrecido sobre el origen de esa política son insuficientes. En primer lugar, los est…
Indigenous Citizenship between Borderlands and Enclaves: Elections in Talamanca, Costa Rica, 1880-1913
In Costa Rican historiography, Talamanca has often been considered one of the country's most isolated areas for two main reasons: it is a border region with a significant indigenous population within a nation that has defined itself racially as white, and its history as a banana enclave, areas supposedly characterized by a lack of significant economic and political connections with the nation-states that housed them. However, this article demonst…
La historiografía costarricense en la primera década del siglo XXI: Tendencias, avances e innovaciones
Since the 1980s, Costa Rican historians have developed a trend of systematically reflecting on their research and writing. This volume is the latest step in that trend. It groups together the papers presented at the 2010 conference entitled Primer Seminario de Historiografía Costarricense, Siglos XIX–XXI. While the book's title emphasizes the first decade of the twenty-first century, several of the essays extend their analysis as far back as the …
