Indigenous living systems and constitutional positivisation in Latin America: overcoming legal and political coloniality, fighting and practices of common goods

Abstract

This article deals with the cultural and socio-political and legal processes of recognising two rights of Latin American indigenous peoples. Monist law as a Western cultural product denied and destroyed distinct lives, practices, institutions and thoughts, hegemonising colonial cosmovisions and epistemes. Critical movements geared to the action of the reflection unveil this institutionalised violence, triggering multicultural, multicultural and multi-country constitutionalisation processes that promote the fight for positivation of ways of being, knowing and acting communautaire specific to indigenous living systems based on good living (Sumak Kawsay, sum Qamaña and ñandereko). The new Latin American constitutionalism regains its democratic character and liberalising two rights.
