Greetings. I am a grad student in int'l development and I am working at the World Bank this summer. I am doing research on indigenous self-development in Latin America for a social scientist in the Latin America and Caribbean Technical Dept.
I am using this list to solicit information and ideas from development workers, academics, and others who have been researching/reading/ writing/thinking about these issues a lot longer than I have been. I would appreciate any information you could forward regarding:
--Conditions for self-development of indigenous peoples in L.America.
--Has it generally arisen as a result of a crisis or increasing external pressures on resources?
--What is most important? land rights, food security, the environment, community organizing, education, or do they all have to happen at the same time?
--What role does culture play?
--Examples or case studies of indigenous groups that have developed on their own (ie, working for land rights, economically productive activities, or resource management) and how to find out about them.
Please feel free to forward this message to other lists or individuals.
Thank you in advance. Kathy Johns
