"Embers of the Past" is a powerful critique of historicism and
modernity. Javier Sanjines C. analyzes the conflict between the
cultures and movements of indigenous peoples and attention to the
modern nation-state in its contemporary Latin American
manifestations. He contends that indigenous movements have
introduced doubt into the linear course of modernity, reopening the
gap between the symbolic and the real. Addressing this rupture,
Sanjines argues that scholars must rethink their temporal
categories. Toward that end, he engages with recent events in Latin
America, particularly in Bolivia, and with Latin American
intellectuals, as well as European thinkers disenchanted with
modernity. Sanjines dissects the concepts of the homogeneous nation
and linear time, and insists on the need to reclaim the indigenous
subjectivities still labeled "premodern" and excluded from the
production, distribution, and organization of knowledge.
