AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This source describes ethnic relations between largely rural Indians and largely town-dwelling whites in the Parish of Saraguro, Loja Province, Ecuador. The power of whites over Indians comes largely through their control of government and finance, while the power base of the Indians is in land ownership allowing for a high degree of self-sufficiency and growing self-determination. Indian relations with poor rural whites, or [i]chazos[i], is relatively balanced, and often dominant. Religion is discussed as another sphere of ethnic competition, highlighting the role of a progressive (white) priest in social change. The author also touches upon often interrelated forces of outmigration and transculturation.
