Reviews'Fontana seeks to shift arguments about the politics of indigenous identity forward to an analysis of the consequences of ethnic recognition in Latin America, bringing class analysis back into the frame. Her book is a major contribution to thinking about the problems that continue to underscore rural poverty in settings where ethnic identities are recognised.' John Crabtree, Oxford University, 'Fontana's book is a major contribution to our understanding of recognition. Speaking to political science and sociology, this innovative study tackles 'post-recognition' to show how recognition rights can feed conflicts between groups, just as they open new avenues for accessing resources and rights. However, there is hope as thoughtful policies can help make recognition conflicts not zero-sum. Recognition Politics is a must and should be widely read by social scientists interested in contemporary politics in Latin America and beyond.' Michèle Lamont, Harvard University, 'By empirically examining cases from three Andean countries, Fontana's powerfully argued book challenges the primary logic of recognition reforms by delineating the circumstances under which they fuel inter-communal conflict and competition-rather than, as usually assumed, contribute to conflict prevention and mitigation. Fontana's set of cases reveals a "dark side" to recognition under which the poorest communities are further marginalized.' Jean E. Jackson, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

SynopsisThe first attempt to assess the implications of internationally acclaimed indigenous rights for rural poor communities across different countries and policy issues, such as land, natural resources and service provision. A pioneering work which uses important policy implications to challenge consolidated assumptions on recognition politics., This pioneering work explores a new wave of widely overlooked conflicts that have emerged across the Andean region, coinciding with the implementation of internationally acclaimed indigenous rights. Why are groups that have peacefully cohabited for decades suddenly engaging in hostile and, at times, violent behaviours? What is the link between these conflicts and changes in collective self-identification, claim-making, and rent-seeking dynamics? And how, in turn, are these changes driven by broader institutional, legal and policy reforms? By shifting the focus to the 'post-recognition,' this unique study sets the agenda for a new generation of research on the practical consequences of the employment of ethnic-based rights. To develop the core argument on the links between recognition reforms and 'recognition conflicts', Lorenza Fontana draws on extensive empirical material and case studies from three Andean countries - Bolivia, Colombia and Peru - which have been global forerunners in the implementation of recognition politics.cognition politics.cognition politics.cognition politics.
