Indigenous artists frequently voice concerns over the
commodification of their cultures, a process acutely felt by those
living with the consequences of colonialism. Thistimely book, which
features color illustrations throughout, examines the ways in which
contemporary indigenous peoples in different parts of the Americas
have harnessedperformance practices to resist imposed stereotypes
and shape their own complex identities. Essays by leading academics
and practitioners show the vibrancy of a wide array of indigenous
arts and cultural events in the United States, Mexico, Peru,
Bolivia, Canada, Nicaragua, Ecuador, and Belize. As well as
analyzing performance idioms, the authors trace the circulation of
creative products and practices as commodities, as cultural
capital, and/or as heritage. Making reference to aesthetic forms,
intellectual property, and political empowerment, these essays
weigh the impact of music, festivities, film, photography, theater,
and museum installations among diverse audiences and discuss ways
in which spectacles of cultural difference are remodeled in the
hands of indigenous practitioners.
