"Reimagining Indianness" is a study of posttraditional Indians in eastern Brazil. It is an investigation of Indians in the Brazilian states of Minas Gerais and Espirito Santo whose "tribal traditions" (e.g. language, religion, ceremonies, collective knowledge, social organization, etc.) have been reduced by conquest to fragments and shadows, yet who continue to look to the remains of these "traditions" as an important point of reference and inspiration.

520 $a "Reimagining Indianness" is a study of posttraditional Indians in eastern Brazil. It is an investigation of Indians in the Brazilian states of Minas Gerais and Espirito Santo whose "tribal traditions" (e.g. language, religion, ceremonies, collective knowledge, social organization, etc.) have been reduced by conquest to fragments and shadows, yet who continue to look to the remains of these "traditions" as an important point of reference and inspiration.
520 $a Drawing from almost two years of participant observation and 122 in-depth interviews, this manuscript details the materiality and semiotics of Indianness in eastern Brazil and surveys how it is intersected with gender, class and color. It documents the recent histories of the Canoeira, Kaxixo, Maxakali, Pankararu, Pataxo, Tupinikim, and Xacriaba peoples. Furthermore it examines how posttraditional Indians, most of whom are mestizos (i.e. individuals of indigenous, African and European descent), negotiate the fact that they do not "fit" popular conceptualizations of Indianness in which Indians are imagined as naked, anti-modern, pure-blooded, forest dwellers who live on the margins of nation and time.
520 $a One of the guiding questions of this study is why has the centuries long trend in Brazil of Indians becoming mestizos been reversed to the point where in the past three decades an increasing number of mestizos have begun asserting Indian identities. It is argued and explained how the rise of posttraditional Indians is linked to a reduction in anti-Indian terrorism, the maldistribution of land, the emergence of certain non-governmental organizations, and the development and dissemination of alternative constructions of Indianness within anthropology as well as posttraditional communities.
520 $a The intersections between Indian subjectivities and the cultural politics of race are also explored. Unlike mestizo, black and white identified Brazilians, individuals who self-identified as Indian were found to represent an anti-racist force in that they were creating symbolic orders, discourses and everyday practices which were disruptive to the Brazilian racial order of white supremacy. Given that Indians have been virtually excluded from academic discussions of racism and antiracism, the empirical findings outlined in this study suggest that a serious reevaluation of the content and direction of these debates may be in order.
