Presentación

In the last decade, some local narratives have emerged thanks to ongoing social and political transformations. Indigenous people have raised their own political voice in many countries of the global south. Even remote indigenous communities have found the way to create their own narratives in securing their land in the context of political conflict and violence. However, in many cases local narratives have remained hidden or constrained to local realms. How and why do local narratives challenge state official historical accounts? Why do some narratives have gain power while others remained hidden? This research seeks to answers these general questions by analyzing, contextualizing and comparing local narratives vis-à-vis official account in specific historical periods and about particular sociopolitical processes in three countries in the Global South: Peru, Bolivia and Burkina Faso.
