What happens to Amerindian cultures when they come into contact with the Europederived nationstates of Latin America? How are the nationstates in turn affected by this experience? These questions motivate the essays in NationStates and Indians in Latin America. While furnishing a sweeping overview of Latin America, the essays are empirically focused, dealing with such issues as how the Guatemalan tourist industry appropriates indigenous clothing to create a national image, how highland Indian music has adapted to Peruvian state interventions since the colonial period, and how debates developed in turnofthecentury Brazil over the proper method for integrating isolated Indian populations into the national society.The essays also pose a challenge to classical anthropological theory and methodology, in which Indian cultures have been analyzed in isolation, without regard for the role of state interventions. The essays suggest not only that anthropologists should pay attention to the nationstate contexts of their research but also that modern nationstates are themselves appropriate objects for anthropological investigation.
