This book explores how ideas about race travelled across national
borders in early twentieth-century Latin America. It builds on a
vast array of scholarly works which underscore the highly
contingent and flexible nature of race and racism in the region.
The framework of the nation-state dominates much of this
scholarship, in part because of the important implications of ideas
about race for state policies. This book argues that we need to
investigate the cross-border elaboration of ideas that informed and
fed into these policies. It is organized around three key policy
areas - labour, cultural heritage, and education - and focuses on
conversations between Chilean and Peruvian intellectuals about the
'indigenous question'. Most historical scholarship on Chile and
Peru draws attention to the wars fought in the nineteenth century
and their long-term consequences, which reverberate to this day.
Relations between the two countries are therefore interpreted
almost exclusively as antagonistic and hostile. Itinerant Ideas
challenges this dominant historical narrative.
