Indians and Leftists in the Making of Ecuador's Modern Indigenous Movements

"In this timely contribution to Latin American history and the study of Indigenous South Americans, Marc Becker documents the long history of Indigenous political activism in Ecuador, reminding us that current events never spring into existence without historical precedent. The impressive amount of new documentary evidence he provides makes this a book that will be immediately read and discussed, and then debated for years to come."--Mary Weismantel, author of "Cholas and Pishtacos: Stories of Race and Sex in the Andes"
