Negotiating Identities in Modern Latin America explores some of the
ways in which people define their membership in groups and their
collective identity, as well as some of the challenges to the
definition and maintenance of that identity. This interdisciplinary
collection of essays, addressing such diverse topics as the history
of Brazilian football and the concept of masculinity in the Mexican
army, provides new insights into questions of identity in
nineteenth- and twentieth-century Latin America. The essays cover a
wide range of countries in the region, from Mexico to Argentina,
and analyze a variety of identity-bearing groups, from small-scale
communities to nations. Hendrik Kraay has gathered contributions
from historians and anthropologists. Their individual
methodological and theoretical approaches combine to paint a
picture of Latin American society that is both complex and
compelling. The chapters focus on the day-to-day construction of
identity among ordinary people, from American nationals living in
Peru to indigenous communities in Argentina. With Contributions By:
