City at the Center of the World: Space, History, and Modernity in Quito
Ernesto Capello’s City at the Center of the World does not read like a first book based in part on doctoral research. Many such books are well-developed case studies that draw on new archival materials and contribute richly to our knowledge of social life and people’s experience in specific historical moments and locations, and yet could be characterized as relatively modest in scope. This book is a more impressive achievement.The book’s title re…

Gender, Indian, Nation: The Contradictions of Making Ecuador, 1830-1925 by Erin O'Connor

Ecuadorian Indians, the Nation, and Class in Historical Perspective: "Rethinking a "New Social Movement

Racial Ideologies and the Quest for National Development: Debating the Agrarian Problem in Ecuador (1930-50)
During an economic crisis in Ecuador, three models of and solutions to the agrarian problem were proposed. A peasant path of agricultural development was formulated by peasant leaders and socialist activists. A large-landholder model was promoted by modernising large landowners. A medium-landholder model was advanced by promoters of European immigration and urban mestizos seeking land through state colonisation projects. The adherents of each app…
Globalization Seen from the Margins: Indigenous Ecuadorians and the Politics of Place
Processes of economic globalization over the last quarter century, associated with increased mobility of capital, goods and labour, suggest that attachments to place are of decreasing importance. However, this may be a result of look ing at these processes from the centre, rather than from the margins. This article combines a discussion of how globaliza tion and the debt crisis in Ecuador have restructured the limits of the possible for subaltern…

The idea of the state as a dispenser of equal justice was successfully called on by indigenous peons in their resistance to forced labor recruitment by local official…
