Hemispheric Indigeneities is a critical anthology that brings
together indigenous and nonindigenous scholars specializing in the
Andes, Mesoamerica, and Canada. The overarching theme is the
changing understanding of indigeneity from first contact to the
contemporary period in three of the world's major regions of
indigenous peoples. Although the terms indio, indigene, and indian
only exist (in Spanish, French, and English, respectively) because
of European conquest and colonization, indigenous peoples have
appropriated or changed this terminology in ways that reflect their
shifting self-identifications and aspirations. As the essays in
this volume demonstrate, this process constantly transformed the
relation of Native peoples in the Americas to other peoples and the
state. This volume's presentation of various factors-geographical,
temporal, and cross-cultural-provide illuminating contributions to
the burgeoning field of hemispheric indigenous studies. Hemispheric
Indigeneities explores indigenous agency and shows that what it
means to be indigenous was and is mutable. It also demonstrates
that self-identification evolves in response to the relationship
between indigenous peoples and the state. The contributors analyze
the conceptions of what indigeneity meant, means today, or could
come to mean tomorrow.
