Sumario:It may sound counterintuitive to speak of indigenous citizenship in Latin America when the meaning of one of the terms is necessarily associated with equality and the other precisely with social inequality. On the one hand, extended citizenships are a relatively recent phenomenon in the countries of the area and, on the other hand, the native populations continue to suffer very severe conditions of exploitation and oppression. That basic fact has not changed, for the most part. In these circumstances, the issue of indigenous citizenship runs the risk of containing nothing and its search can lead us to find only an empty space, the obvious confirmation of a lack.
