| Summary: | Socioterritorial conflicts and movements in Bolivia have highlighted the ways infringe the collective rights of indigenous peoples have been infringed and seem to challenge and dispute the imaginary of societal/state change that emerged in this country in the past decade, such as the “pluri-nationality”, the “indigenous autonomies”, the “Living Well” and the “decolonization”. In several territories of Bolivia there are strong tensions, sometimes violent, between a vision of “development” and policies of expansion/intensification of extractivism by the State and the Government and, on the other hand, with demonstrations in defense of communitarian territorialities. I propose a problematization of the current situation in the so-called lowlands, where indigenous political subjects may be configuring social movements based on forms of territorial defense, perhaps, of a counter-hegemonic scope. |
