| description | This article compares the indigenous armed participation in the Bolivian civil wars of 1870 and 1899 paying special attention to this population’s changing access to citizenship. The alliance between the indians and the militaries shows, in the first place, how indians were neither alien to the process of national construction nor aloof from the political conceptions and projects of the nineteenth century, but that they became, moreover, central subjects in the institutionalization and territorial rearrangement of the State insofar as they assumed the narrative of citizenship and national cooperation as their own, on behalf of their own defense as a group. Secondly, the complex image of the “soldier/nacional/armed citizen” suggests the capacity of armed conflicts to generate changes of perception about citizenship and citizen belonging, and to influence the processes of indianization and reindianization of identities. |

Indigenous participation in the Bolivian revolutions of 1870 and 1899 ¿Ciudadanos armados o traidores a la patria? Participación indígena en las revoluciones bolivianas de 1870 y 1899 Irurozqui, Marta ciudadanía Estado guerra civil identidad citizenship State civil war identity This article compares the indigenous armed participation in the Bolivian civil wars of 1870 and 1899 paying special attention to this population’s changing access to citizenship. The alliance between the indians and the militaries shows, in the first place, how indians were neither alien to the process of national construction nor aloof from the political conceptions and projects of the nineteenth century, but that they became, moreover, central subjects in the institutionalization and territorial rearrangement of the State insofar as they assumed the narrative of citizenship and national cooperation as their own, on behalf of their own defense as a group. Secondly, the complex image of the “soldier/nacional/armed citizen” suggests the capacity of armed conflicts to generate changes of perception about citizenship and citizen belonging, and to influence the processes of indianization and reindianization of identities. Mediante la comparación de la participación armada de los indígenas en las guerras civiles de1870 y 1899, se analiza la naturaleza cambiante del acceso de esta población a la ciudadanía. La alianza entre los indios y los estamentos armados incide en dos aspectos. Pr i m e ro, muestra, en primer lugar, cómo los primeros no sólo no vivieron de espaldas al proceso de construcción nacional ni fueron ajenos a las concepciones, proyectos o empresas políticas decimonónicas, sino que se constituye ron en sujetos sustanciales en la institucionalización/re articulación territorial del Estado gracias a asumir como propia la narrativa ciudadana de cooperación nacional en su defensa grupal. Segundo, a través dela compleja figura del “soldado/nacional/ciudadano armado” refleja la capacidad de los conflictos bélicos para generar cambios de percepción y adscripción ciudadanas y para influir en los procesos identitarios de desindianización y reindianización.
