Description

This book provides a vivid account of how the indigenous communities of Cauca in southwestern Colombia engaged with the Colombian central state. Troyan examines the state initiatives in the 1930s, ‘50s, ‘60s, and ‘70s toward indigenous communities in Cauca, which sheds light on the political and social construction of Colombian indigenous identity.
