Description

Andrew Canessa's Intimate Indigeneities explores the complex identities of a Bolivian highlands community through their own experiences and voices. Over two decades of ethnographic research, he examines how gender, race, and ethnic identities intersect in everyday life.

The book reveals that indigeneity is deeply intertwined with these identities, shaped by historical consciousness and influenced by dominant structures such as whiteness and masculinity. Canessa sheds light on the ways in which memories of a violent past are used to construct a sense of community, raising important questions about indigenous politics and identity.

This nuanced study offers a unique perspective on the intricacies of indigeneity, challenging readers to consider the complexities of identity and community in the Andean region.
