A ‘demographic turnaround’. The rapid growth of indigenous populations in lowland Latin America [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
In contrast to the rich scholarship documenting the traumatic postcontact destruction of indigenous populations in the Latin American tropics, little is known about their contemporary population dynamics. What accounts for the "demographic turnaround" reported for some groups? How widespread is population recovery, and what are its implicationsfor indigenous political resurgence? We address these questions by compiling recent (post-1980) demographic indieators for over one hundred lowland indigenous populations. Despite remarkable socioeconomic and cultural diversity among tiiese groups, we find compelling evidence that they nevertheless share a common trajectory of very rapid growth over the past two decades, especially in contrast to non-indigenous populations. We briefly review the implications of their dramatic physical resurgence and show how closer attention to this phenomenon is overdue. We discuss the relevance of indigenous societies' recovery to scholarship and praxis in the areas of health and education, cultural and political gains, and demographic theory.
