Dancing the New World: Aztecs, Spaniards, and the Choreography of Conquest by Paul A. Scolieri (review)
In her final chapter, Kuenzli turns to today’s Inca performances in Caracollo in the broader context of the Oruro carnival and folkloric festivals in general, and the politics of ethnic identity since the 1970s, which have given rise to a distinct Indian discourse centered on resistance to state oppression. This chapter constitutes an ethnography of contemporary ethnic politics from the local perspective of Caracollo. It is based on interviews with the actors and the fieldwork carried out in Caracollo, Oruro, and La Paz.
