Nation-states and Indians in Latin AmericaGreg Urban, Joel Sherzer Twelve essays pose a challenge to classical anthropological theory and methodology in which Indian cultures have been analyzed in isolation, without regard for nation-state context. Empirically focused, they deal with such issues as how the Guatemalan tourist industry appropriates indigenous clothing to create a national image and how highland Indian music has adapted to Peruvian state interventions since the colonial period.
