Abstract
FLORES, Pabel Camilo López and MAKARAN, Gaya. Indigenous Autonomy in Dispute: Between Community Reconstruction and State Tutelage. The Guaraní Experience of Huacaya in Bolivia. Revista Crítica de Ciências Sociais [online]. 2020, n.121, pp.49-70. ISSN 2182-7435. https://doi.org/10.4000/rccs.10159.
Almost a decade after the approval of the Bolivian Constitution which allows for the creation of indigenous autonomies, at present most of the autonomous processes do not seem to moving in the expected direction. What happened to the Autonomías Indígenas Originarias Campesinas (AIOC) as one of the most transformative components of the plurinational project in Bolivia? In this work, we try to problematize this question, from the processes of indigenous autonomy of the Guaraní people in the Bolivian Chaco, specifically from the municipality of Huacaya. We critically approach this process of “autonomy of law” from the voices of the indigenous subjects themselves, in an effort to rethink the concept of indigenous autonomy and its concrete application in Bolivia.
Keywords : autonomy; Guaraní people; Huacaya (Bolivia); indigenous movement; plurinationality.
