Indigenous Collective Rights in Latin America fills a gap in research. For a long time, the installation of Indigenous collective rights was associated with international pressure or influential Indigenous movements. Katherine Becerra Valdivia disentangles the complex relations behind strong collective rights, including alliances between the Indigenous movements and other actors, the system of political parties, and the constitutional background in Latin America. This is an important step to better understanding why some countries grant strong collective rights to national minorities and others do not, which is relevant globally.
