The Ecological Native: Indigenous Peoples Movements and Eco-Governmentality in Columbia

This text analyzes indigenous peoples processes of identity construction as ecological natives. It opens space for reconstructing all the different networks, conditions of emergence, and implications (political, cultural, social and economic) of one specific event: the consolidation of the relationship between indigenous peoples and environmentalism. The book is based on ethnographic information and focused on the historical process of the emergence of indigenous peoples movements in Latin America, in general, and indigenous peoples of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta do Columbia (SNSM), in particular.
