Coronado departs from the common critical conception of \u003ci\u003eindigenismo\u003c\/i\u003e as rooted in novels and short stories, and instead analyzes an expansive range of work in poetry, essays, letters, newspaper writing, and photography. He uses this evidence to show how the movement's artists and intellectuals mobilize the figure of the Indian to address larger questions about becoming modern, and he focuses on the contradictions at the heart of \u003ci\u003eindigenismo\u003c\/i\u003e as a cultural, social, and political movement. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy breaking down these different perspectives, Coronado reveals an underlying current in which intellectuals and artists frequently deployed their indigenous subject in order to imagine new forms of political inclusion. He suggests that these deployments rendered particular variants of modernity and make \u003ci\u003eindigenismo\u003c\/i\u003e representational practices a privileged site for the examination of the region's cultural negotiation of modernization. His analysis reveals a paradox whereby the un-modern \u003ci\u003eindio\u003c\/i\u003e becomes the symbol for the modern itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Andes Imagined\u003c\/i\u003e offers an original and broadly based engagement with indigenismo and its intellectual contributions, both in relation to early twentieth-century Andean thought and to larger questions of theorizing modernity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jorge Coronado\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822960249\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/12\/2009 pg. 20\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJorge Coronado\u003c\/b\u003e is associate professor in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at Northwestern University.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Pittsburgh Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40495480537203,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":78.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_26a68525-e380-47c2-bbfd-27927b33cc22.jpg?v=1665061574","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/the-andes-imagined-indigenismo-society-and-modernity-9780822960249","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
