Americanization, indigenous groups, Bolivia, ethnicity, ethnonationalismAbstract
In the last decades, Latin America has experienced a process of
Americanization of its material and symbolic culture. The
ostentatious symbols of this process are the proliferation and
popularity of malls. On the other hand in the same period we have
been witness to the revival of the ethnicity of the indigenous
nations. The most emblematic example is Bolivia, where a well
known Indian leader is now President of the Republic.
At first sight, this process appears to be part of the
antiglobalization movement. On the contrary, the central thesis of
this article is that the indigenous resurgence has been possible to a
large extent because of the support rendered by international
groups and organisations, which in turn can be explained by the
central place that original peoples have attained in the western
imaginary. The renaissance of the indigenous question is a very
genuine product of globalization, as is Americanization. Even the
most radical versions of ethnonationalism, like the Aymara, would
not be possible outside the context of globalization.
