For students and researchers in Latin American politics, with a focus on violence, post-civil war dynamics, state reform/capacity and illicit economies, this is the first comparative book to explain and analyze the striking and varied homicide rates in Latin America, alongside a systematic analysis of three post-civil war cases.

In the twentieth century, indigenous people in Latin America started to speak out, mobilize, and organize in unprecedented ways. This book asks: why are indigenous people mobilizing now and why only in specific places? This book answers these questions with insight into their advancement and reform of democracy.
