Political identities and democracy from indigenous communities, contributions to a discussion in heterogeneity.

Abstract

The paper brings to the discussion the history of indigenous communities in order to contribute other perspectives to the discussion of social justice in a universalist sense. It is considered that, instead of emphasizing only cultural identities, it is indispensable to open the discussion on the formation of political identities developed by indigenous communities and peoples, in order to open new ways of thinking about democracy in Latin America, one that emphasizes the heterogeneity of political positions.
