整个拉丁美洲的新自由主义改革旨在通过开放经济和鼓励市场导向的做法来促进发展。这些改革深刻影响了土著人民的生活及其与外来行为者的关系。如今，在厄瓜多尔亚马逊地区，一些土著人民参与石油开采谈判、旅游业以及集约化养牛和农业，作为增强市场一体化的一部分。在这些变化中，关于“本土性”在融入和抵制新自由主义改革中意味着什么的问题对于理解亚马逊地区的社会正义和环境保护问题变得越来越重要。作者探讨了新自由主义实践和认识世界的方式如何为质疑土著身份的固定观念及其在代表、想象和发展厄瓜多尔亚马逊土著联盟和权利主张中的作用开辟了空间。
Neoliberal reforms throughout Latin America are intended to promote development by opening up economies and encouraging market-oriented practices. These reforms have deeply affected the lives of indigenous peoples and their relationship with extralocal actors. Today, in the Ecuadorian Amazon, some indigenous peoples participate in oil-extraction negotiations, tourism, and intensive cattle ranching and agriculture as part of increased market integration. In the midst of these changes, questions about what 'indigeneity' means, both in integrating into and in resisting neoliberal reforms, are increasingly important for understanding social justice and environmental conservation issues in the Amazon region. The author explores how engagement with neoliberal practices and ways of knowing the world has opened up spaces for questioning fixed notions of indigenous identities and their role in representing, imagining, and developing indigenous alliances and rights claims in the Ecuadorian Amazon.
