From Movements to Parties in Latin America: The Evolution of Ethnic Politics Book

This book explains the formation in the 1990s by indigenous peoples' movements of successful political parties in four Latin American countries. It contributes to scholarly understanding of ethnic political cleavages, indigenous political mobilization, and the transformation of party systems and political representations in contemporary Latin America. It is the only book-length study of Latin America ethnic parties. This volume presents a wealth of data that has not been published before, particularly on the under-studied cases of Argentina, Colombia, and Venezuela.Read More

  • Product Description

    Based on extensive original research and detailed historical case studies, this book links historical institutional analysis and social movement theory to a study of political systems in which new ethnic cleavages have emerged. It studies the surprising transformation of indigenous peoples' movements into viable political parties in the 1990s in four Latin American countries (Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela) and their failure to succeed in two others (Argentina, Peru). The study concludes with the democratic implications of the emergence of this phenomenon in the context of declining public support for parties.
