In \u003cem\u003eThe Long Shadow of Extraction\u003c\/em\u003e, Christopher Carter argues that the native groups' resistance to extraction took distinct forms, and this variation explains why some communities demanded autonomy while others demanded integration or assimilation. Countering existing scholarship that assumes a universal demand for autonomy, Carter shows that some Indigenous communities in fact refused government offers to recognise their local political authority and longstanding economic institutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCarter argues that contemporary Indigenous demands were forged in early twentieth-century efforts to resist extraction. Drawing on two emblematic Latin American cases, Peru and Bolivia, Carter shows that in communities where traditional Indigenous leaders organised resistance, ethnic mobilisation occurred and gave rise to enduring demands for autonomy, or state recognition of Indigenous identities and institutions. In communities where unions and leftist parties organised resistance, class-based mobilisation became the norm. This led communities to reject autonomy and demand instead integration (state recognition of Indigenous identities but not Indigenous institutions) or assimilation (state recognition of neither Indigenous identities nor institutions).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCarter's groundbreaking account of Indigenous resistance has important implications for understanding not only the historical emergence of autonomy but variations in identity-based mobilisation in multiethnic democracies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47341311033580,"sku":"9780691271163","price":57.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/2698773482434.jpg?v=1772189587"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/christopher-l-carter.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
