Opis

This work argues that due to domestic blockages presented to them in their respective countries, the Amazonian indigenous peoples organized via trans-national networks. Through a comparative historical analysis of five Ecuadorian-Amazonian indigenous organizations and two trans-national Amazonian social movement organizations, Pamela Martin illustrates the process of trans-national collective action and its outcomes.
