“The authors in this collection—through creative methodologies—offer excellent pathways for future scholars to illuminate diverse perspectives on Native identities in colonial Latin America. . . . This rich volume demonstrates the many ways that Native peoples could adapt, reimagine, and redefine Indigenous citizenship during the colonial period in Spanish America.”—Tribal College Journal
“This book represents an important contribution to the understanding of native agency and contact negotiations that took place in the colonial period by emphasizing how locality affected the wide range of native forms of collective and individual identities. The essays are thoroughly researched and clearly written.”—Mariselle Meléndez, author of Deviant and Useful Citizens: The Cultural Production of the Female Body in Eighteenth-Century Peru
