| Summary |
"This volume looks at how metropolitan ideas of nation employed by politicians, the media, and education are produced, reproduced, and contested by people of the rural Andes - people who have long been regarded as ethnically and racially distinct from more culturally European urban citizens. Yet these peripheral "natives" are shown to be actively engaged with the idea of the nation in their own communities, forcing us to re-think the ways in which indigeneity is defined by its marginality." "The contributors examine the ways in which numerous identities - racial, generational, ethnic, regional, national, gender, and sexual - are both mutually informing and contradictory among subaltern Andean people who are more likely now to claim an allegiance to a nation than ever before."--Jacket |
