The sociocultural dynamics of indigenous peoples in the last decades of the
Twentieth century, has been conceived as a fundamental social situation in
the debate of rethinking democracy beyond the models/schemes, lines, and
traditions imposed by the dominant groups in Our America. The weakness
of the political regimes, the delegitimization of the parties, and the desolation
of the institutions due to the inability of the State, has been recognized as a
moment, which reflects the contradictions within the neoliberal society and the
interests of hegemonic groups.
