Whiteness and indigenous becomings. Latin American resistance to Western hegemony

In this theoretical-interpretative writing, we use the concepts of the Ecuadorian philosopher Bolivar Echeverria "whiteness" and "baroque ethos" to relate them to the analysis of certain current indigenous movements as alternatives to the Eurocentric capitalist model typical of "western" modernity. For this, we make a brief tour of the most relevant political aspects as normative achievements of global indigenism, in order to understand them as resistance to the hegemonic model of Eurocentric modernity that supposedly universalizes a concrete way of understanding nature-culture relations; labor-capital; individual-community. In the final part, we describe certain cases from the global South, especially Guarani spirituality in the border area, as indigenous counter-hegemonies and their contribution to the realization of alternative models to understand, live and transform capitalism. As conclusions we advance towards a philosophical-anthropological reflection that serves as a critique of capitalist ethnocentrism but also of the moral relativism typical of the beginnings of the anthropological discipline.
