Abstract

This article analyzes the process of autonomy of the Nicaraguan Atlantic Coast, which started in the second half of the 1980s from the pressure of the indigenous and African-American social organizations, and places it in the contexts of the region’s ethnohistorical dynamics and the new Latin-American scene of intensification of ethnic demands, as well as its relation with the concept and exercise of multicultural citizenship, which combines the notions of integration and equality with the historical and cultural difference that guarantees specific collective rights.
