“…Similar mechanisms were prevalent in South America, where los indios of the Andes-since the 1570s termed República de indios-had to contribute with collective labour and the collection and payment of taxes to the Spanish Crown . Through these and similar arrangements, los indios of the Andes have continually been (re)constructed as particular kinds of collective subjects (Wade 2017;Ødegaard 2010). This kind of dialectical process indicates the importance of considering how indigeneity may at times act as a tool of governance, while at other times serve as a strategy of emancipation and resistance (Murray Li 2010; Postero 2013).…”

Indigenous Life Projects and Extractivism

The edited volume we present here examines indigenous life-making projects in the encounter with extractivist politics and operations. It includes ethnographic studies of Amerindian strategies performed to face the 'slow violence' (Nixon 2013) or the turbulences (Bessire 2014) undergone by human-nonhuman relationships in contexts and sites of extractivism in South America. We explore how alternative politics of nature are negotiated and mediated in arenas where the extractive industries increasingly privatise and commodify 'the common good' (Blaser and de la Cadena 2017). With attention to the continuous and asymmetrical confrontations and entanglements of different politics of nature, we examine the various ways in which extractivism actualises questions of ontological difference. We explore how indigeneity is represented, performed, and recreated-by

The concept of vivir bien (living well) has become ubiquitous in Bolivian state discourse and policy since the election of Evo Morales as Bolivia’s president in 2005. While Bolivia’s constitutional refounding as plurinational is supposed to facilitate indigenous peoples’ living according to their conception of living well, the state still appears to be attempting to implement its own conception through rural social programs promoted as enabling rural indigenous peoples to live well. The implementation of one such social program, a housing donation program in the municipality of Charazani (Department of La Paz), demonstrates differing notions of vivir bien between neighboring communities and suggests that a program designed to facilitate vivir bien may actually provide obstacles to the realization of an indigenous conception of living well. El concepto de vivir bien se ha vuelto omnipresente en el discurso y la política del estado boliviano desde la elección de Evo Morales como presidente en 2005. Si bien se supone que la refundación constitucional de Bolivia como estado plurinacional debe facilitar la vida de los pueblos indígenas de acuerdo a su concepción de vivir bien, el Estado aún parece estar tratando de implementar su propia concepción a través de programas sociales rurales promovidos como proyectos que permiten que los pueblos indígenas rurales vivan bien. La implementación de uno de estos programas sociales, un programa de donación de vivienda en el municipio de Charazani (Departamento de La Paz), muestra diferentes nociones de lo que implica vivir bien entre las comunidades vecinas y sugiere que un programa diseñado para facilitarlo puede, de hecho, generar obstáculos a la realización de una concepción indígena de vivir bien.
