MONDOL LOPEZ, Lenin. The Institutionalization of the Indigenous "Question" from the Costa Rican State. Rev. Rup. [online]. 2018, vol.8, n.2, pp.77-100. ISSN 2215-2989.  http://dx.doi.org/10.22458/rr.v8i2.2114.

The so-called "indigenous" issue has been subject to multiple approaches, in recent decades particularly from the approaches of Cultural Studies in the field of Social Sciences and from the perspectives of socioeconomic studies on the subject of poverty. This article proposes a critical approach to this notion, trying to reveal the epistemological strategies that reify indigenous subjectivity and dehistorize its economic and social conditions from the contradictory relationship with the State and the dynamics of capital accumulation in which it is circumscribed. To account for the contextual framework in which the logic of exclusion and exploitation of indigenous peoples in Costa Rica is reproduced is the main focus of this study.

Keywords : Indigenous; Costa Rican State; political economy.
