Indians and Leftists in the Making of Ecuador’s Modern Indigenous Movements (review)

While there has been significant literature produced about Ecuador's indigenous movements since they burst onto the national political scene during the powerful and both highly-coordinated and fundamentally grass-roots 1990 indigenous uprising, we still know relatively little about the deeper historical roots of these movements. Becker's book is therefore all the more welcome, as it tells a new story in which the indigenous movement of the 1990s is understood not as a new phenomenon, but rather as the culmination of decades of organizing efforts involving collaboration among urban leftists and indigenous activists, whose interaction transformed the understandings and strategies of both sides of this equation.
