Paige shows that the divergent political histories and the convergent outcome were shaped by one commodity: coffee.

Indigenous Revolution in Ecuador and Bolivia, 1990–2005

Uprisings by indigenous peoples of Ecuador and Bolivia between 1990 and 2005 overthrew the five-hundred-year-old racial and class order inherited from the Spanish Empire. It started in Ecuador with the Great Indigenous Uprising, which was fought for cultural and economic rights. A few years later massive indigenous mobilizations began in Bolivia, culminating in 2005 with the election of Evo Morales, the first indigenous president. Jeffrey M. Paige, an internationally recognized authority on the sociology of revolutionary movements, interviewed forty-five indigenous leaders who were actively involved in the uprisings.

  • Publisher: Routledge

Recent years have seen a resurgence of separatist sentiments among national minorities in many industrial societies, including the United Kingdom.

This book presents the social basis of ethnic identity, and examines changes in the strength of ethnic solidarity in the United Kingdom during the 19th and 20th centuries. As well as being a case study, the work also has impli...
