María Teresa Sierra. Essentialism and autonomy: paradoxes of indigenous revindication.
In order to avoid ethnic absolutism one must links between revindicating ethnicity as a nucleus of resistance and loyalties and the political necessity to rethink the nation from a multicultural and multiethnic perspective. This text attempt to develop some critical thought on the risk of essentialist views of identity in the construction for an autonomous indigenous project. It aims to put forward ideas that will allow for new ways to think of culture and indigenous rights, from a dynamic and relation oriented perspective and not as the expression of unalterable traditions. Even when indigenous groups are right in defending their difference and customs in order to defend their identity, this does not exempt them from the need to avoid reproducing forms of dominance and exclusion that they themselves criticize. Some hopeful signs are being displayed by indigenous organizations and groups with them, particularly women.

Reseña - Gobiernos pluriétnicos: la constitución de regiones autónomas en la Costa Atlántica-Caribe hot!
María de Lourdes Figueroa Romero - Tras la pérdida de las elecciones por los sandinistas en 1990, y de la asunción de un gobierno que exaltaba los viejos estilos de la burguesía comercial nicaragüense, se inició un acelerado proceso de desarticulación de las transformaciones revolucionarias en Nicaragua. La definición de una política económica neoliberal trajo también aparejada una nueva racionalidad productiva: la Costa Atlántica- Caribe, con sus grandes recursos productivos, como históricamente lo había sido, era nuevamente atractiva para los planes centralizadores gubernamentales. El desarrollo de un modelo de economía extractiva y desnacionalizadora por parte del gobierno central, supuso inmediatamente una sombra de regresión sociopolítica sobre las aspiraciones autonomistas de los costeños miskitos, ramas, garífunas, sumus-mayagnas, negros y mestizos. La autonomía es, en más de un sentido y según lo que comenta Miguel González, un logro sandinista, por lo que la sociedad regional tendría que enfrentar nuevos embates del gobierno central, del Estado nicaragüense.
