Suburban Indians: Constructing indigenous identity and citizenship in lowland Bolivia.
Postero, Nancy Grey.

Suburban Indians: Constructing indigenous identity and citizenship in lowland Bolivia. - 525 p.

Chair: Nancy Scheper-Hughes.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Berkeley, 2001.

Bolivia's new constitution declared Bolivia to be a “multi-ethnic” “pluri-cultural” nation, and a series of revolutionary legislative reforms named indigenous peoples as actors in local government and established land reforms entitling them to collectively-held territory. Thus, as the Bolivian state incorporates the rapidly developing eastern lowlands, home to many indigenous groups, into its national strategies, it is attempting to tie their citizenship to the nation through these reforms, particularly through political participation. This dissertation traces the construction and deployment of indigenous identity in the contest of these reforms, focusing on a group of Guarani Indians who have migrated from rural areas into urban Santa Cruz, Bolivia. I trace three major interpellating forces which have shaped the making and remaking of the Guaraní's sense of indigenous identity. First, I show how the state has attempted to assimilate previously marginalized indigenous peoples through the construction of a new category, the indigenous citizen. My research shows that while the new reforms offer spaces for political participation, these spaces appear to be quite limited so far. Second, I demonstrate how non-governmental organizations (NGOs) act as agents of the state to form indigenous people into citizens, by teaching a set of practices that embody the rationalities of the particular version of citizenship put forward by the neoliberal state. These include modern bureaucratic practices, efficient money management, and “democratic” participation skills. Finally, I show how the local Guaraní leaders enact and rework traditional narratives of leadership and land tenure in the rapidly changing economic and political context of boomtown Santa Cruz. All three of theses interpellations combine to form an interconnecting set of forces which are contested, enacted, resisted, and strategically employed by the Guaraní people, as they construct their own identities as modern, suburban, indigenous citizens.
