“…The background of The auTonomy process and land TiTling legislaTion Saneamiento is the latest turn in what is a long history of indigenous territorial struggles in Nicaragua and elsewhere. As in other countries in Latin America, the colonial history of Nicaragua has had atrocious impacts on the country's indigenous populations (Vilas 1989;Baracco and González 2016a). What makes Nicaragua's case unusual is the historical division of the country into two.…”

“…One of the countries where this issue is perceived to be extremely urgent is Nicaragua, where territorial conflicts are violent and have led to the loss of dozens of lives, and where the situation has provoked a recent surge of scholarly and media attention (e.g. Herlihy 2016; Parker 2016; Baracco and González 2016b;Robles 2016;Galanova 2017).…”

Territorial conflicts between "indigenous people" and migrants identified as "mestizos" are intensifying across Latin America's indigenous territories. Saneamiento -understood as the removal of mestizos from indigenous territories -is often presented as a solution to these conflicts. Yet, the underlying premises of the process remain poorly understood. This article aims to shed light on saneamiento as a process in Nicaragua, which is one of the first countries to implement saneamiento in its current form, and to draw attention to its inherent contradictions. Through the dual lenses of cultural politics and political ecology, I suggest that saneamiento reproduces the sedimented ethnic categories and difference-making that define neoliberal multiculturalism. This establishes an indigenous/mestizo binary, glossing over internal differences in power, realities, and identities within these seemingly natural categories. At the same time, saneamiento casts territorial conflicts as an exclusively local problem requiring local solutions, obscuring the broader political-economic and institutional structures at work. The paper reviews the prospects for saneamiento in resolving territorial conflicts in the Caribbean Coast of Nicaragua specifically.
