Research Abstract |
This research has clarified how the relationships between the state and indigenous peoples have been changing in Latin America : in particular, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Bolivia. Among the four countries in question all four members of the research team have been to Guatemala and investigated the transitional phase in democratization. We found that Guatemala must face the past by remembering what had happened, in order to move forward to the future, rather than forgetting the undeniable atrocity many Mayan peoples have suffered. As part of an effort in reconstructing nation is restitution for the victims of the civil war ; however, it has been subject as usual to political manipulation during 2003. Kozaki and Iijima have investigated the indigenous movements in Mexico, Nicaragua and Bolivia ; the Bolivian case is instructive in a sense that the Bolivian indigenous movements have been mobilized for the purpose of forging a force against the globalization-export of resource to outside. The weakness of indigenous social movements have been historically evident : it becomes easily co-opted by the state power for nationalism. The same has been repeated once again in 2003. All four investigators feel that the role of indigenous politics cannot be ignored even in time of globalization, since it articulates, in a way different from the globalizing powers, the local-something that even the globalizing forces must anchor themselves-and the national and global. It utilizes the local connection as assets rather than constraints. These aspects of indigenous movements need further investigation.
