Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Chicago, 2004.

This thesis is an ethnographic history of the Amazonian indigenous-rights movement in Peru. It is based on research done with an ethnic group called the Aguaruna whose leaders are at the vanguard of indigenous activism in the South American context. I identify the global influences that shaped the movement into its current form, including missionary education and patronage, state reforms that led to indigenous land titling, and the recent expansion of international NGO advocacy networks, environmental agendas, cultural property claims, and neoliberal policies. My approach to this material is grounded in a broader theoretical argument about custom, history, and customization as the dialectical outcome of the first two. I proffer this new analytic of "customization" as: (1) a potentially novel solution to some old debates about culture and history; (2) as a way to engage with indigenous activism by drawing on the very vocabulary of "custom" and "culture" that activists use; and (3) as a phrasing that explains the emergent political-economy of indigenous cultural commodity brokering through which some indigenous actors actively embrace the promises of mobilization and consumerist self-fashioning contained in the principles of neoliberal capitalism. This latter aspect leads to a brand of activism I categorize as neoliberal indigenism.

520 $a This thesis is an ethnographic history of the Amazonian indigenous-rights movement in Peru. It is based on research done with an ethnic group called the Aguaruna whose leaders are at the vanguard of indigenous activism in the South American context. I identify the global influences that shaped the movement into its current form, including missionary education and patronage, state reforms that led to indigenous land titling, and the recent expansion of international NGO advocacy networks, environmental agendas, cultural property claims, and neoliberal policies. My approach to this material is grounded in a broader theoretical argument about custom, history, and customization as the dialectical outcome of the first two. I proffer this new analytic of "customization" as: (1) a potentially novel solution to some old debates about culture and history; (2) as a way to engage with indigenous activism by drawing on the very vocabulary of "custom" and "culture" that activists use; and (3) as a phrasing that explains the emergent political-economy of indigenous cultural commodity brokering through which some indigenous actors actively embrace the promises of mobilization and consumerist self-fashioning contained in the principles of neoliberal capitalism. This latter aspect leads to a brand of activism I categorize as neoliberal indigenism.
520 $a In the first sense, I examine how indigenous movement actors render indigenous struggles intelligible within local frameworks of meaningful practice. Among the Aguaruna there is a continuing emphasis within the movement on visionary war leaders that forge noble paths and a politics that is subject to loyalties and rivalries based on particular river basins and kin networks. In another sense, customization refers to the various way in which indigenous movement actors seek out engagements with the state, global society, and the market, using the very term "custom" (and its ideological corollary "culture") as the object of negotiation. Widespread trends toward the recognition of culture-based identities and customary law, the highly politicized fight to make culture a form of alienable intellectual property, and the potential to profit from native land entitlements, are three important dimensions that the thesis explores in this regard.*
