SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"Negotiating Identities in Modern Latin America explores some of the other 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." "Editor 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."--Jacket.
