Leith Mullings, Our Compañera en Lucha
The recent passing of the renowned anthropologist and anti-racist activist Leith Mullings is a tremendous loss. The three of us became close to Leith through our shared participation in the Antirac
Cultural Agency and Political Struggle in the Era of the Indio Permitido
In Praise of “Reckless Minds”
The challenge, in sum, is to portray activist anthropology with a greater measure of self-reflection and acknowledged limits than the Barbados anthropologists were able to muster, while at the same time affirming their political vision, energy, and commitment. The process is demand from students, surely in response, at least in part, to the dire and increasingly polarized political conditions of the United States at early twenty-first century. Th…
Using and Refusing the Law
This article begins with the contention that the three-decade era of neoliberal multiculturalism is coming to an end. During that time, Indigenous peoples in Latin America gained a wide array of rights grounded in cultural difference by occupying spaces opened through the multicultural turn and using counterhegemonic strategies to push beyond their intended limits. Struggles in the judicial arena, and the accompanying work of the anthropological …
Engaging Contradictions
Scholars in many fields increasingly find themselves caught between the academy, with its demands for rigor and objectivity, and direct engagement in social activism. Some advocate on behalf of the communities they study; others incorporate the knowledge and leadership of their informants directly into the process of knowledge production. What ethical, political, and practical tensions arise in the course of such work? In this wide-ranging and mu…

Esta obra colegiada tiene un encuentro luminoso con la liberación de los pueblos oprimidos. Su destino está trazado: va a convertirse en una obra de referencia y lo será cada vez más en la medida en que los años pasen. Es una obra de nuestro tiempo, en lo que nuestro tiempo ofrece de más genuina esperanza a los pueblos oprimidos, de más articulada visión de los retos de la liberación, de más consistente diseño de los caminos sentipensantes de la …

When I hear the word culture
This afterword summarizes the principal contributions of the articles in this collection, noting both common themes and points of difference. All six articles highlight serious problems and unintended consequences that result when the recognition of rights grounded in cultural difference, or expressions of respect for cultural particularity, take place without engaging the deep structural inequalities that accompany cultural plurality. They also …
Privatization of the 'historic debt'? Mapuche territorial claims and the forest industry in southern Chile
This article chronicles the long-standing conflict between the Mapuche people and the Chilean state since militarized colonization of Mapuche territory in the 1880s. The analysis focuses especially on a series of conflicts between Mapuche communities and Chilean-based multinational forest companies, which operate extensively in territory that the Mapuche claim. Given that state-initiated programs of restitution and reconciliation have been largel…

Sin embargo, nuevas presiones relacionadas con las políticas de cambio climático y prácticas extractivas han surgido en la reconceptualización del mapeo participativo.

Comment on Arturo Escobar's ‘Latin America at a Crossroads
Re-visioning Latin American Studies in the United States
In the early 1990s, an influential group of northern scholars, foundation representatives and observers of academic trends came to the conclusion that ‘Area Studies’ were in crisis. Although the critiques and calls for reformulation applied across the board to a heterogeneous array of Area Studies fields, they had particular resonance within Latin American Studies (LAS). Rooted in disciplinary and institutional developments dating back to the beg…
Re-Visioning Latin American Studies
This article explains why-contrary to predications of influential scholars and foundation representatives in the 1990s-Latin American studies (LAS) entered the new century vibrant and growing rapidly. We posit five realms of critique and innovation from within which, in interaction with traditional strengths of area studies, account for this vibrancy. Because these critiques challenge many inherited premises of LAS, they have faced considerable r…
Resistencia para que? Territory, autonomy and neoliberal entanglements in the 'empty spaces' of Central America
This paper explores black and indigenous land rights struggles in Central America, focusing especially on the contradictions produced and deepened by strategies of neoliberal governance. Paradoxically, among the most daunting obstacles is not repression or denial of rights, but, rather, partial recognition and the bureaucratic-political entanglements that follow. Another major challenge is the declining viability of agrarian development in the gl…

Neoliberal Multiculturalism
Does Multiculturalism Menace? Governance, Cultural Rights and the Politics of Identity in Guatemala
This article challenges the assumption that the underlying principles of state-endorsed 'multiculturalism' stand in tension with neoliberal political-economic policies. Based on ethnographic research in Guatemala, it is argued that neoliberalism's cultural project entails pro-active recognition of a minimal package of cultural rights, and an equally vigorous rejection of the rest. The result is a dichotomy between recognised and recalcitrant indi…
Activist Research v. Cultural Critique
With indigenous and Afro-Latin land rights in Central America as ethnographic context, this article makes the case for politically engaged anthropology. The argument builds from a juxtaposition between "cultural critique" and "activist research" distinguished mainly on methodological grounds. Activist scholars establish an alignment with an organized group of people in struggle and accompany them on the contradictory and partly compromised path t…

Cultural Politics of Identity in Latin America
The phrase "identity politics" has come to encapsulate a wide diversity of oppositional movements in contemporary Latin America, marking a transition away from the previous moment of unified, "national-popular" projects. This review takes a dual approach to the literature emerging from that transition, focusing on changes in both the objects of study and the analysts' lens. Four questions drive this inquiry: When did the moment of identity politi…

Travel Warning
This article analyzes the complexities that arise when certain keywords in culture theory "travel" from one sociopolitical setting to another. The specific context is ethnic and racial relations in the highlands of Guatemala, where members of the dominant (ladino) group have come to use the term hybridity (among others) to challenge and delegitimate Maya Indians' demands for cultural rights. I conclude with a call for theory-making efforts withou…

A mere eighteen months after the Sandinistas came to power in Nicaragua in 1979, Miskitu Indians engaged in a widespread and militant anti-government mobilization. In late 1984, after more than three years of intense conflict, a negotiated transition to peace and autonomy began. This study analyzes these contrasting moments in Nicaraguan ethnic politics, drawing on four years of field research in a remote Miskitu community and in the central town…

Mestizaje, Hybridity, and the Cultural Politics of Difference in Post‐Revolutionary Central America
This paper explores the relationship between “post‐revolutionary politics” in Central America and the broader theoretical claims made in the name of the “new cultural politics of difference.” At issue are the critiques of political visions that downplay cultural difference in the name of unity, and correspondingly, the widespread politicization of identities that previously would have been subsumed under broader political categories. Two settings…

Rights, Resources, and the Social Memory of Struggle
In early 1997, the three authors accepted a research contract, funded by the World Bank, to carry out a diagnostico (research and analysis) of the communal land claims of some 130 indigenous, Garifuna, and Afro-Nicaraguan communities on the Atlantic (Caribbean) Coast of Nicaragua. This essay makes the diagnostico itself the subject of analysis, summarizing the research results and examining their impact. After a brief overview of the role of land…
