Marc Becker.Una Revolucion Comunista Indigena: Rural Protest Movements in Cayambe, Ecuador. RM 10(4):34-51 "Analysis of rural protest movements in Cayambe, Ecuador, during the 1920s and 1930s illustrates the nature of the relationship between Marxists and the indigenous peasantry. An overview of the establishment of the Peasant Workers Syndicate of Juan Montalvo in Cayambe during the mid-1920s and of Jesus Gualavasi's leadership in the organization and participation in the local Socialist Party is provided. The support received by the indigenous peasant organization from urban leftists during the 1930/31 strike in Pesillo and Moyurco to improve working conditions in the agricultural sector is discussed. The collaboration between Marxists and the indigenous peoples in creating the First Congress of Peasant Organization and the local government's response to the social movement are examined. It is contended that Marxist organizers played a significant role in the indigenous people's social movement, eg, through the provision of legal guidance. The influence of this movement on the history of social protest in 20th-century Ecuador is acknowledged. 13 References. J. W. Parker"
