Title
Agrarian Reforms of the Twentieth Century in Peru and Bolivia: From Ethnic Identity to Economic Identity
Description
How did agrarian reforms reshape indigenous identity and activism in Peru and Bolivia? These two episodes explore the political shift from indio to campesino and its impact on indigenous movements in both countries. By examining the economic and social consequences of this transformation, we analyze how state policies redefined ethnic identity, shaping indigenous struggles. Episode 1 delves into Peru’s 1969 agrarian reform, focusing on Velasco Alvarado’s government and his Día del Indio speech. Episode 2 continues with Bolivia’s 1952 agrarian reform, comparing its implementation with Peru’s. We assess the effectiveness, flaws, and long-term impact of these reforms, questioning their accessibility and outcomes for the communities they aimed to include in their political projects.
