About this product
Product Information
"It is indispensable that Ecuador has peace, but to have peace you need freedom and to have freedom you need justice. And the Indian population needs justice."-President Gustavo Noboa, January 23, 2000 For five centuries, the Indians had very little voice in Ecuador. Now they are major protagonists who seek more acceptable terms in which to coexist in a society with two vastly different world views and cultures-that of Indians and that of the descendants of Europeans. Their recent political uprising has become the most powerful and influential indigenous movement in Latin America. They have inspired other Indian movements throughout the continent. Author Allen Gerlach details the origins and evolution of the Indian rebellion, focusing on the key period of the last thirty years. In the process, he also presents a concise political history of Ecuador. Gerlach infuses his text with an abundant supply of quotations from participants in the rise in ethnic politics, bringing Ecuador's history and the Indians' opposition to the country's government to life. In addition, Indians, Oil, and Politics serves as a case study on what happens to a nation when its economy is based solely on one commodity-in this instance, oil. The discovery of oil in the Amazon in 1967 was a major factor in Ecuador's modernization and also sparked the Indians' fight for their rights. Oil wealth wreaked havoc on the environment and cultures of the native people of the Amazon, and it did not end old traditions of political fragmentation and corruption. Gerlach explains that the Indians fought back by forming federations to advance their interests and by joining forces with similar structures molded in the highlands of Ecuador. Together they created the country's first truly national indigenous organization in 1986-CONAIE (The Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador)-and by 2000 their movement was a major force to be reckoned with, one which increasingly influenced state policy. This book shows how the Indians he

Indians, Oil, and Politics stands as the best overall analysis of recent Ecuadorian history in any language. Latin America's contemporary indigenous rights movement began in the jungles of Ecuador, not Chiapas, Mexico. Allen Gerlach has produced a truly masterful account of that movement, together with a brilliant case study of corporate greed and its devastating impact on indigenous peoples., This book provides a detailed discussion of Ecuadorian politics at the end of the twentieth century, focusing on a four-year period in which there were six national presidents. It will be useful for anyone trying to sort through the rapidly shifting political alliances and breaches during this complex period of economic and political crisis., Belongs in all college and university libraries with significant holdings in Latin American studies. Highy recommended., This is the best book on Ecuador today. It provides necessary background information to comprehend the political, economic, and social situation in the country. The author correctly identifies the politics of oil and the growing indigenous movement as the most important factors in Ecuador's recent history. His detailed breakdown of recent events is exemplary and gives the facts required to understand one of the most important but least-studied countries in Latin America. This kind of book has long been needed; Gerlach's insights into the complex politics of Ecuador are extremely valuable for those interested in contemporary Ecuador and Latin America in general.
