Abstract
The Katarist movement that emerged in the 1970s in the Bolivian Andes owes its name to Túpac Katari, the Aymara leader of the Great Rebellion of 1780-1783. In order to understand what led Katarist activists to turn to this marker of ethnic identity, the historical and sociological conditions that preceded the production of an Indian discourse must be considered : first of all, the degradation of relations between the State and the peasants and, next, the urban experience of Andean migrants. It seems that the contradictions that have appeared in Katarist discourse concern the contemporary political situation of Bolivia and the questions raised by the arrival to power of Evo Morales.
