PDF-(READ)-Resistance and Contradiction: Miskitu Indians and the Nicaraguan State, 1894-1987

A mere eighteen months after the Sandinistas came to power in Nicaragua in 1979 Miskitu Indians engaged in a widespread and militant antigovernment mobilization In late 1984 after more than three years of intense conflict a negotiated transition to peace and autonomy began This study analyzes these contrasting moments in Nicaraguan ethnic politics drawing on four years of field research in a remote Miskitu community and in the central town of Bluefields Fieldwork on both sides of the conflict allows the author to juxtapose Miskitu and Sandinista perspectives to show how actors on each side understood the same events in radically different ways and how they moved gradually toward reconciliationSince 1894 Miskitu people have faced an expansionist nationstate and have participated as well in a UScontrolled enclave economy and a civil society dominated by US missionaries The cultural logic of contemporary ethnic conflict the book argues can be found in the legacy of Miskitu responses to this dual subordination While resisting the Nicaraguan state Miskitu people drew closer to the AngloAmerican institutions and worldview These inherited premises of Anglo affinity combined with militant ethnic demands motivated the postrevolutionary mobilization Sadinista revolutionary nationalism in turn had little tolerance for ethnic militancy and even less for Anglo affinity Only with autonomy negotiations did both sides begin to address these underlying causes of the conflict Though portraying autonomy as a major step toward peaceful conflict resolution and more egalitarian ethnic relations the nook concludes that this new political arrangement did not and perhaps could not fully overcome the contradictions from which it aroseThe book offers a critique of existing approaches to ethnic mobilization and to revolutionary nationalism in Central America putting forward an alternative framework grounded in Gramscian culture theory This permits a grasp of the combined presence of ethnic militancy and Anglo affinity in the Miskitu peoples consciousness a previously unexamined key to Miskitu collective action The same notion of contradictory consciousness illuminates the Sadinistas thought and practice They too espoused a determined political militancy fused with assimilationist premises toward Indians which created contradictions at the core of their egalitarian revolutionary vision.
