Aboriginal Rights and Self-government
A timely study of the Aboriginal rights movements, this collection of essays explores the situation in Canada and Mexico, where demands by Native peoples for political autonomy and sovereignty are increasing, and suggests why there is little corresponding activity in the United States. The contributors address practical questions about the viability of multiple governments within one political system and epistemological questions about recognizing and understanding the "other." Curtis Cook is professor of political science, The Colorado College. Juan D. Lindau is professor of political science, The Colorado College.

La démocratie mexicaine en terres indiennes
Dans les confins indiens du Mexique, la démocratisation s'accompagne d'une reconnaissance de la nature pluriculturelle de la société. L'indianité fait son entrée dans la sphère publique, sous l'effet combiné de la mobilisation sociale et du calcul politique. Dans l'une des provinces à plus forte densité de population indienne, l'Oaxaca, cette politique du multiculturalisme a pris une forme particulière. La reconnaissance a porté sur l'autonomie politique des communautés indiennes. L'Etat a légalisé les formes traditionnelles d'élection et de délibération politique au niveau municipal. Cet ouvrage s'attache à élucider cette énigme de la transition mexicaine. Dans une perspective comparative, il enrichit les problématiques de la démocratie et nourrit la réflexion sur la question indienne à l'échelle du continent.

En contra de la corriente ortodoxa, que pronostica la desaparición de los indígenas como sector social, los hechos aquí registrados ponen de manifiesto la vigencia del indígena como hombre político.
Cumbe Reborn
According to legend, Cumbe ruled the Colombian community of Cumbal during the Spanish invasion. Although there is no documentation of Chief Cumbe's existence, today's Cumbales point to him as their ancestral link to Pasto ancestors. His image reappears often in popular music, theater, community organization, and militant politics as the Cumbales attempt to reinvigorate their indigenous heritage and reclaim the lands this heritage justifies. Joanne Rappaport examines the Cumbales' reappropriation of history and the resulting reinvention of tradition. She explores the ways in which personal memories are interpreted in nonverbal expression, such as ritual and material culture, as well as in ora...
