During his last 40 years as anthropologist, Prof. Varese has followed, accompanied and witnessed the ethnopolitical struggle of the indigenous peoples of Latin America for their self-determination, autonomy and cultural sovereignty. He is now revisiting these years of political struggle and professional engagement in an attempt to reach some conclusions on the role of committed Latin American anthropology in the hemispheric indigenous movement for social, economic and cultural justice.
