This article analyzes the Indigenous Peasant Movements (IPM) of Ecuador as a social force and political actor. By proposing an alternative to the Ecuadorian crisis based on the Sumak Kawsay (Good Living) values, the IPM expand democratic spaces and formulate an expanded sense of citizenship. It focuses on the events of the 2019 national strike in Ecuador, in retrospective dialogue with previous
uprisings. The article draws on the testimonies of the Kayambi people, collected before and after the strike, in semi-structured interviews, and ethnographic work. Results show that the memory of previous struggles was an essential motivation for the emergence of the uprisings. Besides, unity and solidarity among rural actors and other sectors of the Ecuadorian society were the basis for the strike’s strength and power. In dialogue with the Emancipatory Rural Politics, the article contributes to critical approaches about the role of indigenous peasant peoples in struggles for life alternative.
