| description | From the time of Independence Costa Rica has reveled in its European roots and racial purity while ignoring its indigenous and afro-descendant populations and ancestry. Nonetheless, in 1956 its government began securing indigenous land rights by erecting reserves. The explanations offered so far about this policy change are incomplete. First, scholars have ignored the crucial struggle for land that took place at the beginning of the twentieth century, which pitted the Indians from Talamanca against the United Fruit Company (UFCo.). Second, they failed to account for the impact that the UFCo.’s agenda had on the creation of the country’s first reserves. Thus, the better-known actions of the Costa Rican indigenistas of the 1940s and the 1950s are but a partial explanation. |
