Contested Community: Indigenous Land Rights and Identity Politics in Eastern Bolivia

By Veronika Groke

Veronika Groke interrogates the concept of the comunidad ind gena (indigenous community) in the context of the history and social life of a Guaran community in eastern Bolivia. While this institution is today firmly embedded in Bolivian politics and society, different people and interest groups have varying understandings of its meaning and purpose. By showing the comunidad to be a multifaceted complex of diverging and sometimes competing ideas, desires, and agendas, Groke provides new insight into contemporary political tensions related to culture, identity, and development
