Abstract
The problem of diversity for modern nation states is examined in analyses of legislative and indigenous efforts to reframe indigenous rights in Colombia. Crucial questions are raised about the shift in the terms of debate from territory to “ethnic difference”and the problems negotiating between local, pan‐indigenous groups and the state. The difficulties of implementing legal changes that are ambiguously phrased are discussed, and/or the potential for complicating existing constitutional guarantees for indigenous rights and authority. This paper, and the concluding comparative commentary, develop the broader significance of these problems for future discussions of citizenship, human rights and the complexity of power in modern nations.
