Description: "Rich, interdisciplinary volume spanning archaeology, anthropology, political science, literary studies, and history focuses primarily on Colombia but also includes one article on Brazil and several on Peruvian themes. Of ethnographic interest are articles by Jaime Arocha, Nina de Friedmann, Michael Taussig, and Peter Wade on the construction of blackness in Colombia; and works by Hernán Henao, Jean Jackson, and Myriam Jimeno on the nature of indigenous ethnicity. Both of these themes are framed by the codification of ethnic diversity in Colombia's 1991 Constitution"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
