Abstract

This book explores the engagement of government, multinational mining corporations, and a hybrid civil society coalition (the Confederación de Nacionalidades Indígenas del Ecuador, or CONADE) in the cultural politics of water in Cuenca, Ecuador. Third, the book provides a rare case of civil society coalition formation that transcends class and ethnic divisions. Chapter 5 shows how the cultural politics of water in the defense-of-life movement promoted anticolonial identity politics. [Extracted from the article]
