Democracy and indigenism in Latin America

Abstract

Among the dehumanizing effects of the Conservative Revolution, which occurred during the last third of the Twentieth Century around the world and in our America, has been the unjustifiable possibility of associating democracy with neoliberal ideology, says Hugo D. Biagini in this essay. This Argentine philospher criticizes the present political model that has provoked a divorce between politics and citizenship. And he lets us see that an approach through period of mass movements —including indigenous movements— is the only agency capable of concretizing democracy.
