American Indigenism and Democracy: Churchill, Marshall and Villoro on Assimilation, Pluralism, and Autonomy (Winner of the Hubert Griggs Alexander Award)
Luis Villoro’s political philosophy is significant not only for philosophers in
Mexico. His thought emerges in part from Native American thought and this is
relevant to all of the Americas, North, Central and South, given that the Native
American culture is common to all of the Americas and historically previous to
our respective colonizers (Spanish, British, Portuguese, Dutch, French, Danish).1
The Native American fate after 1492 has been similar throughout the American
continent in so far as Indigenous peoples have suffered great traumas and much of
their culture has been wiped out due to colonization and its aftermath.
