The indianism of Álvaro García Linera
Abstract
The objective of this work is the attempt to configure new indigenous actors in the political field, investigating the genealogy of Álvaro García Linera’s Indianist thought. This Indianism has been forged in turn on the basis of Reinaga, in addition to being linked to Valcárcel, which includes the model of reorganization of indigenous community structures; with Mariátegui, regarding the recognition of the communist social base of the indigenous community; and with Fanon regarding the use of violence in the Indian revolution and the self-production of anti-colonial and decolonized logic. Actually, it is about the katarist Indianism that breaks the disagreement between Marxism and indigenism. This reconnection makes it possible to assume new political subjects, outside the economic determinism and the centrality of the working class. Thus it seems necessary to admit that Indianism offers new political meditations on the construction of bolivian plurinationality.
