  • Description

    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. By exploring topics as varied as nation-building in the 1930s or the chuqila dance, these authors expose a paradox in the relation between indians and the nation: that the nation can be claimed as a source of power and distinct identity while simultaneously making some types of national imaginings unattainable. in the performance of these simple acts, bodies move in particular spaces and contexts and do so within certain understandings of gender, race and nation.
