INDIGENOUS AUTONOMIES CONFRONTING CONTEMPORARY CAPITALISM: PART 1

  Issue Editors: Edgars Martínez Navarrete and Richard Stahler-SholkSummary:This issue of Latin American Perspectives, the first of a two-part series, examines Indigenous autonomy movements across Latin America as forms of resistance to neoliberal capitalism, extractivism, and territorial dispossession. Through theoretical analyses and historical case studies, contributors explore diverse approaches to self-determination, communal governance, and the defense of Indigenous territories and identities. Highlighting the experiences of movements such as the Zapatistas, the Purépecha community of Cherán, and the Mapuche, the issue examines the tensions between Indigenous autonomy and state institutions while considering alternative visions of development rooted in collective rights, decolonial perspectives, and social justice.     TABLE OF CONTENTS | PURCHASE THIS ISSUE PodCast
