Ciudadanía, constituciones y relaciones interétnicas en la Sierra ecuatoriana (1812-1830)
Main Article Content
Abstract
The article aims at analyzing the requirements for citizenship based on several constitutions coming into effect between 1812 and 1830 in Ecuador. The author observes the way in which the articles were received and interpreted by the actors on the local level. Special emphasis is put on the examination of how persons of indigenous origin claimed the civil rights as well as on processes of negotiating political participation among ethnic groups. Based on several cases from the Ecuadorian highlands the contemporary discourses on citizenship and argumentation strategies used by the actors at the local level are examined.
