Ebook: Comunidad, derechos y obligaciones. El tequio como mecanismo de solidaridad social

Native American societies have a specific indigenous concept about the
rights and obligations of an individual in regard to the community. Tequio is one of
the main instruments of social solidarity within traditional corporate groups and we
hypothesize that it can be useful to understand the cultural framework of these rights
and duties. We begin with a brief conceptual discussion to proceed with an analysis
of the historical development of the tequio institution in several regions.
