Abstract
This chapter focuses on notions of masculinity and resistance among Quichua-speaking indigenous villagers, or Runa, in Pangor, a parish in Chimborazo province in the central highlands of Ecuador. Indigenous Pangorenos’ notions of masculinity have been intertwined with authority and resistance in class, ethnic, and age-based hierarchies. This essay deals primarily with the early to mid-twentieth century, when haciendas dominated the area, but also examines the contemporary period of indigenous ethnic mobilization.
