A case study of why Third World countries are still poor, the premise of this book is that while some progress has been made in transforming the political economy of Ecuador, certain behaviors, beliefs and attitudes have kept the country from developing in ways that otherwise would have been possible. As the author asserts, for almost five centuries the cultural habits of Ecuadorian citizens have constituted a stumbling block for individual economic success. Still, he concludes, people's cultural values are not immutable: inconvenient customs can be changed or influenced by the economic success of immigrants. This is the challenge that Ecuador faces in the twenty-first century.

The Republic of Ecuador by Webster E. Browning Pdf
Excerpt from The Republic of Ecuador: Social, Intellectual and Religious Conditions Today The Republic of Ecuador fronts on the Pacific Ocean, and lies south of Colombia and north of Peru. Its acknowledged area is 116,000 square miles, but there are large territories in dispute with its neighbors, which, should Ecuador be successful in its contentions, would bring the total area to a little over 276,000 square miles. This enormous extension of territory may best be understood if compared with other better known areas, such as some of the States of the American Union. To create in the United States an area equal to that claimed by Ecuador, we would have to include the great states of Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin and West Virginia, with Hawaii and the District of Columbia thrown in for good measure, while the Galapagos Islands off the coast, and not included in the above continental area, are almost as large as Porto Rico. Or, if reduced even to the smaller area, this would still be equal to the combined areas of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island and the District of Columbia, with nearly 2,000 square miles to spare. The Republic is roughly triangular in shape, with its base lying along the Pacific coast. The apex of the triangle crosses the Andes mountains and extends to the sources of the Amazon river. The Galapagos group of islands already referred to, lie 580 miles off the coast directly on the Equator. The group is composed of thirteen large, and a number of small islands, but at present has no economic value. The strategic importance, however, is great, since these islands lie in the direct path of vessels coming across the Pacific from New Zealand and Australia to the Panama Canal, and the United States has been quoted as trying to gain possession of them for the purpose of establishing a naval base.

The South American Republics : History of Ecuador by Thomas C. Dawson Pdf
This book treats of the History of Ecuador : from the discovery of the land, the Spanish Conquest, the war of independence, to the formation of Ecuador and the development of the modern country.
In Constitutive Visions, Christa Olson presents the rhetorical history of republican Ecuador as punctuated by repeated arguments over national identity. Those arguments—as they advanced theories of citizenship, popular sovereignty, and republican modernity—struggled to reconcile the presence of Ecuador’s large indigenous population with the dominance of a white-mestizo minority. Even as indigenous people were excluded from civic life, images of them proliferated in speeches, periodicals, and artworks during Ecuador’s long process of nation formation. Tracing how that contradiction illuminates the textures of national-identity formation, Constitutive Visions places petitions from indigenous laborers alongside oil paintings, overlays woodblock illustrations with legislative debates, and analyzes Ecuador’s nineteen constitutions in light of landscape painting. Taken together, these juxtapositions make sense of the contradictions that sustained and unsettled the postcolonial nation-state.

The Ecuador Reader by Carlos de la Torre,Steve Striffler Pdf
Encompassing Amazonian rainforests, Andean peaks, coastal lowlands, and the Galápagos Islands, Ecuador’s geography is notably diverse. So too are its history, culture, and politics, all of which are examined from many perspectives in The Ecuador Reader. Spanning the years before the arrival of the Spanish in the early 1500s to the present, this rich anthology addresses colonialism, independence, the nation’s integration into the world economy, and its tumultuous twentieth century. Interspersed among forty-eight written selections are more than three dozen images. The voices and creations of Ecuadorian politicians, writers, artists, scholars, activists, and journalists fill the Reader, from José María Velasco Ibarra, the nation’s ultimate populist and five-time president, to Pancho Jaime, a political satirist; from Julio Jaramillo, a popular twentieth-century singer, to anonymous indigenous women artists who produced ceramics in the 1500s; and from the poems of Afro-Ecuadorians, to the fiction of the vanguardist Pablo Palacio, to a recipe for traditional Quiteño-style shrimp. The Reader includes an interview with Nina Pacari, the first indigenous woman elected to Ecuador’s national assembly, and a reflection on how to balance tourism with the protection of the Galápagos Islands’ magnificent ecosystem. Complementing selections by Ecuadorians, many never published in English, are samples of some of the best writing on Ecuador by outsiders, including an account of how an indigenous group with non-Inca origins came to see themselves as definitively Incan, an exploration of the fascination with the Andes from the 1700s to the present, chronicles of the less-than-exemplary behavior of U.S. corporations in Ecuador, an examination of Ecuadorians’ overseas migration, and a look at the controversy surrounding the selection of the first black Miss Ecuador.
Assessing the Left Turn in Ecuador by Francisco Sánchez,Simón Pachano Pdf
This book examines the “left turn” in Latin American politics, specifically through the lens of Ecuador and the effects of the Citizens’ Revolution’s actions and public policies on relevant actors and institutions. Through a comprehensive analysis of one country’s turn to the left and the outcomes generated by that process, the authors and editors provide a clearer understanding of the ways in which the popular desire for change (predominant through the region in recent times, as a response to late-twentieth-century neoliberalism) was realized—or not. The particular case of Ecuador further potentiates analysis of the entire region-wide process, considering that the “corrector” cycle is now at an end, and that the economic and international conditions that favored the return of left governments have also changed.
