This interview was conceived and ran by Anne Garrait-Bourrier, Professor in Cultural Studies at Clermont-Auvergne University and Elisabeth Bouzonviller, Professor of American Literature at Jean Monnet University. This article contains an original interview of the Canadian writer Joseph Boyden, recorded on December 12, 2014, at the University Blaise-Pascal, in Clermont-Ferrand. Joseph Boyden was on an 18 month-European tour for the promotion of his latest novel, The Orenda. The French part of this long tour was organized by his French editor, Albin Michel and more specifically by Francis Geffard, the publishing director of the Terre d’Amérique collection, who was the person who discovered Boyden and imposed him in France, as stipulated in Boyden’s very grateful acknowledgements at the end of the Penguin edition of his first novel. The questions asked mainly deal with Boyden’s The Orenda, hence the necessity to introduce the author and his work and replace this novel in a broader literary context.

Scholars have often overlooked the vital knowledge in movement forms with Indigenous roots, such as powwow dance and yoga. This article offers the framework of settler colonial choreographies to describe how U.S. structures come to bear on the bodies and movements of Indigenous people and more-than-humans in ways that infringe on their freedom and futurities. Conversely, I analyze the Powwow Yoga workout videos that Acosia Red Elk (Umatilla Tribe) posted during the COVID-19 pandemic. Her decolonial choreographies challenge settler colonialism by (1) centering contemporary Native peoples, women, and practices; (2) creating critical connections; and (3) orchestrating healing.

In three novels Louise Erdrich explores issues of justice involving the dominant white culture and Native Americans. A Plague of Doves and The Round House concern the aftermath of unpunished crimes committed by whites against Native Americans. In A Plague of Doves the movement of the narrative suggests that the decline of the white town where the crime occurred is retribution for the lynchings of the innocent Ojibwe. The Round House was at least loosely inspired by an actual case where a powerful white political figure raped a young Native American babysitter. The crime was immediately reported and investigated but covered up. Erdrich may be too close to the emotional subject of white rape of Native American women: her fictional rapist is melodramatic and unbelievable. Because the judicial system is unable to render justice, a thirteen-year-old boy kills the white man who raped his mother–– clearly an unsatisfactory solution. LaRose, instead, focuses on a tragic accident rather than a crime, and it occurs within a community where whites and Native Americans are mixed. The conclusion demonstrates that the two cultures are now so intertwined that reconciliation rather than vengeance should be the response in issues of justice. This seems to me to express Erdrich’s own view.

5. Na’hjeNing’e’s Rivers Indigenous Maps, Diplomacy, and the Writing of Ioway Space

This essay examines an indigenous map (1837) of the Missouri and Mississippi river valleys, which offers an alternative to the territorial mappings of US empire in the era of Indian removal. The map was presented by the Ioway delegate Na’hje Ning’e during an intertribal treaty council in Washington in 1837 and depicts the Ioway Nation’s historical occupation of large areas in the Mississippi River Valley. Although the American treaty commissioners ultimately dismissed the map's historical argument and the Ioway's claims, its visual presentation of rivers and indigenous migrations routes marked an alternative to US territorial mappings of Indian country. Understanding the Mississippi River Valley as a site of territorial contestation, Na’hjeNing’e’s visual rhetoric took Ioway migrations along these waterways seriously as a basis for indigenous land claims and sovereignty, presenting an alternative to the settler state’s mappings of Native space. At the same time, the imbalance of power relations within American bureaucratic networks meant that the map is an example of disrespected literature: a form of indigenous writing that was legible within colonial settings, but nevertheless disregarded because it did not align with settler-colonial projects of indigenous dispossession. By considering the diplomatic calculations behind it, this essay argues that Na’hjeNing’e’s map asserted a representation of Ioway sovereignty, but also reveals the bounds on that sovereignty at a moment when removal policy and settler expansion profoundly reshaped the social and political place of Indian nations in North America.

Through Indigenous case studies, John Marshall showed that national development occurs within a federal framework. The Doctrine of Discovery recognizes the State’s ownership of the land, while acknowledging Native Americans’ territorial rights as original occupants. The link between the Federal State and Native American communities is enhanced because of their status as dependent domestic nations with inherent sovereignty. Political argumentation recognizes power, property, pre-emption, and protection against the states. However, the incompatibility of Native Americans’ way of life and relationship to the land solidified federal control by justifying the political and legal exteriorization of the tribe and the appropriation and domination of their territory. This article demonstrates to what extent liberal axiology permeates representations in the United States. Marshall’s jurisprudence supports federalism both as a political fact and as part of natural law as the foundation of America and its liberal project. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A few of Lawrence’s poems written before and while he was in New Mexico (1922-1923) stage the impeded exchanges between the English poet and the Indian whose (real or symbolical) face is either masked or undecipherable. Such frictional relations are prompted by a desire to be adopted by the Indian while the Lawrentian “I” refers to himself as a “homeless dog”. But though the rite of passage remains unaccomplished, it is still from these very frictional encounters that Lawrence expects to draw vital energy to give European civilization a new impetus. His aim therefore, is to find an elsewhere which could provide him new energy, without turning his back on England definitely.

International audience; While activists’ pressures urging museums in Europe to restitute their collections have recently led to scarce cases of restitution of artifacts and human remains mainly to African countries, experiences from contexts with internal colonization, where repatriation legislation has existed for decades are surprisingly rarely taken into account. In the USA, thousands of repatriations occurred in the frame of the Native American Grave Protection Act (NAGPRA), a federal law that has been adopted in 1990. In this interview, the former Comanche Nation Tribal Administrator (2015-2019) and Tribal Historic Preservation Officer of the Comanche Nation (between 1999 to 2015) Jimmy W. Arterberry, revisits his experiences with repatriations in the frame of the law. He draws on his ample knowledge and experiences in historic preservation policies, law implementation, education, and government-to-government consultation, and specifically focuses on the transformations of cultural and religious items through conservation and biocide treatment in federal museums.; Alors que la pression des militant.e.s exhortant les musées européens à rendre les parties contentieuses de leurs collections a récemment permis quelques cas de restitution d'objets et de restes humains, principalement à des pays africains, les expériences dans les pays ayant connus une colonisation interne, et où la législation sur le rapatriement est souvent en place depuis plusieurs décennies sont rarement prises en compte. Aux États-Unis, des milliers de rapatriements se sont déroulés dans le cadre de la loi fédérale sur la protection et le rapatriement des tombes des américains natif.ve.s (Native American Grave Protection and Repatriation Act-NAGPRA), adoptée en 1990. Dans cet entretien, Jimmy W. Arterberry, ancien administrateur (2015-2019) et ancien agent de la préservation historique de la Nation comanche (1999-2015), revient sur les rapatriements qu’il a accompagnés dans le cadre de la loi. Il s’appuie sur ses amples expériences en préservation historique, en application de la loi, en éducation et en consultation intergouvernementale. Il aborde particulièrement les transformations des objets culturels et religieux par la conservation et les traitements aux biocides dans les musées fédéraux.

This paper focuses on Native American cultural initiatives and current debates. Too often, North American Indians have been confined to their tragic history and shown as dependent and helpless. Yet Native American intellectuals and militants have been engaged in cultural re-definition in the last forty years. The paper will draw extensively from two recent collections of essays: Susan Lobo & Steve Talbot, eds. Native American Voices: A Reader. New York: Longman, 1998; Duane Champagne, ed. Contemporary Native American Cultural Issues. Walnut Creek: AltaMira Press, 1999. The subject is highly sensitive and political, therefore I will be careful to give both a faithful account of the authors’ views without ignoring the political context of the dominant society.

Through the analysis of Ceremony, Wolfsong and Zia Summer, this article studies how Leslie Marmon Silko, Louis Owens and Rudolfo Anaya — writers who claim their Native American or chicana identities — represent, in what could be qualified as “identity narratives”, the symbolical reappropriation by a cultural hero of the ancestral territory, historically conquered.

New France during the 17th century is a distant and still unknown territory. However, many French decide to try the adventure on the other side of the Atlantic. Who were they and why do they leave their native country for another ? On the contrary, why some people abandon definitively the colony ? These migrations between the colony and France enable to know it better and to understand the identity and the motivations of migrants. Some of these people having treaded the Canadian lands, decide to share their experience in books published in France. What were the representations of the Canada ? Were they transformed for not to shock or where they the truest possible ? The looks of this travelers, conditioned by many factors of the territory, translate their feelings of their American experience. Fascinations, motivations and fears stand out of their stories. For that, books on New France, 17th century press and correspondence maintained between France and its colonie feed this study. Its have for objective to retranscribe the double image at the same time positive and negative of New France and to understand its influence on the migrations to this one.; La Nouvelle-France au cours du XVIIe siècle est un territoire lointain et encore inconnu. Pourtant de nombreux Français décident de tenter l’aventure de l’autre côté de l’Atlantique. Qui étaient-ils et pourquoi quittent-ils leur pays d’origine pour un autre ? Au contraire, pourquoi certaines personnes abandonnent-elles définitivement la colonie ? Ces migrations entre la colonie et la France permettent de mieux connaître ce territoire et de comprendre l’identité et les motivations de ces migrants. Certaines de ces personnes ayant foulé les terres canadiennes décident de partager leur expérience au sein d’ouvrages publiés en France. Quelles étaient les représentations du Canada ? Étaient-elles transformées pour ne pas choquer ou étaient-elles le plus véridique possible ? Le regard de ces voyageurs, conditionné par de nombreux facteurs du territoire, traduisent leur ressenti de leur expérience américaine. Fascinations, motivations et craintes ressortent de leurs récits. Pour cela, ouvrages relatifs à la colonie, presse du XVIIe siècle et correspondance entretenue entre la France et sa colonie nourrissent cette étude. Elle se donne pour objectif de retranscrire la double image à la fois positive et négative de la Nouvelle-France et de comprendre son influence sur les migrations vers celle-ci.

Cette étude s’intéresse à l’expérience de personnes d’origine atikamekw inculpées, à celle de leur partenaire, de leur famille élargie, ainsi qu‘à celle d’autres membres de la communauté lors de la judiciarisation des situations de violence familiale. Ce projet souhaite également cerner les besoins et les attentes des acteurs atikamekw envers la prise en charge des conflits familiaux, en explorant particulièrement leurs points de vue sur les approches alternatives qu’ils considèreraient comme efficaces, respectueuses de leur mode de vie et qu’ils voudraient privilégier pour leur communauté. L’analyse des données recueillies vient souligner que les effets de la prise en charge pénale sont déplorés par les Atikamekw, puisqu’ils constituent selon eux des obstacles au processus de guérison et à la réduction de la violence dans leur communauté. L’arrestation et l’incarcération sont appréciées par les victimes en tant que « moments de répit », mais leurs fondements et leur potentiel réadaptatif se heurtent à beaucoup de scepticisme. Les avenues proposées par les Atikamekw incluent des séjours de guérison sur le territoire, la revitalisation des pratiques et savoirs atikamekw, le développement de services d’aide pour les deux conjoints et la gestion des cas au sein de la communauté., This study focuses on Atikamekw individuals prosecuted for domestic violence and the effect the judicialization process has upon them, their partner, their extended families, as well as the members of their communities. It also seeks to identify the needs and expectations of the Atikamekw people regarding the way to address this type of conflicts. In particular, the research investigates alternative judicial views which they find effective and respectful towards their own lifestyle, and would therefore like to develop in their communities. The results conclude that current penal process is deplored by the Atikamekw people, as it, according to their views, stands as an obstacle to effective healing and reduction of violence in their community. While arrests and detention can be appreciated by victims as a stopgap solution, their foundation and neglect of rehabilitation lead to significant skepticism towards the current system. Avenues proposed by the Atikamekw include healing retreats on their land, a revitalization of their cultural knowledge and practices, the development of help services for both individuals in the couple and addressing more cases within the community.

Our PHD thesis is about "Enduring time and space in Louise Erdrich's saga Love Medecine. This topic was chosen because of the complexity of time and space in this literary work. Both literary and scientific perspectives of time and space are interrelated and interactive and inspire our analysis and perspective of this work.The scientific context in which this topic is anchored is one of uncertainty about the nature of time and space which opens doors to literary and artistic creativity and imagination and makes it a matter of controversy.Otherwise, the literary context of our research lacks enough scientific investigation about literary representations of time and space in the Native american literature and culture. This was the reason why we shed light on this topic in our PhD research.The literary work we focus on is the saga of Love Medecine by Louise Erdrich and which contains seven interrelated novels: Love Medicine (1984), The Beet Queen(1986) et Tracks (1988), The Bingo Palace(1994), Tales of Burning Love (1996), Four Souls (2004), The Painted Drum (2006. Other works of fiction by Erdrich and her peers are being mentioned like Leslie Marmon Silko, Linda Hogan, and Gerald Vizenor.Time and space in the work of Erdrich are represented through multiple ways, levels and perspectives. The challenge of our thesis is to give a definition or make a clear and logical view out of the messy time and space in the saga. We tend to analyse and scrutinize the impact of the disordered time and space on the novels and on the reader's perception of them.We raise the following questions: What sens can one percieve through narrative fragmentation? What are the scientific stakes of this literary and aesthetic representation of time and space? What is the message that Louise Erdrich aims at transmitting through her disorganised and franctioned time and space in an era of Native amercian renaissance?; Notre projet de thèse porte le titre de «L'épreuve du tempe et de l'espace dans la saga Love Medecine de Louise Erdrich».

Public health data in isolated areas of French Guiana are scarce. However, a number of different communities live in tropical forest areas.The principal objective of this study is to analyse the main epidemiological data that have resulted from clinical practice and investigations conducted at health centres in isolated areas of French Guiana and its borders. The results of HIV studies have highlighted particular events that promote the spread of outbreaks. Illegal gold miners therefore represent a significant number of cases. The importance of specific geographical border areas in epidemic dynamics has also been demonstrated. Investigations on shigellosis, influenza and, most importantly, on thiamine deficiency outbreaks in gold miners underline that precarious conditions lead to poor health. Cryptosporidiosis outbreaks among immunocompetent children also reflect the multifactorial dynamics of infectious diseases, including human behaviour and the characteristics of tropical ecosystems. The severity and diversity of parasitic, viral and bacterial co-infection associated to the need for nutrition security indicates the complexity of delivering medical care to remote populations. Finally, a study on malaria has attempted to offer a novel approach to identifying and treating asymptomatic infections in an Amerindian endemic transmission area. A description of the health status of neglected populations in remote areas is crucial to implementing a health policy in French Guiana. Considering the importance of controlling communicable disease and the severity and range of specific illnesses, new strategies are needed and should be discussed with the communities involved., Les études dans les régions isolées de la Guyane française sont rares. L'objectif principal de ce travail est d'analyser les principales données épidémiologiques résultant de des investigations sur les maladies infectieuses et épidémiques menées dans les centres de santé des régions isolées et frontalières de la Guyane. L’étude portant sur les personnes vivant avec le VIH a mit en évidence sur le plan spatial l'importance des zones fluviales frontalières qui constituent des zones actives de l’épidémie en termes de passage et de possible propagation mais aussi en termes de prévention, dépistage et traitement. Les investigations des épidémies de shigellose, de grippe et surtout de béribéri chez les orpailleurs soulignent le lien entre conditions de vie dégradées et problématiques de santé. La description des cas groupés de cryptosporidiose chez les enfants immunocompétents amérindiens reflètent les composantes multifactorielles des épidémies en zones isolées mettant en jeux des comportements humains spécifiques au sein d’écosystèmes tropicaux. La sévérité et la diversité des co-infections associés au besoin primaire de sécurité nutritionnelle rappellent les difficultés mais aussi l’urgence de l’adaptation des politiques de santé publiques aux populations éloignées. Enfin, l’étude menée sur le paludisme autochtone a tenté de discuter d’une nouvelle approche afin d’identifier et de traiter les infections asymptomatiques dans une zone de transmission endémique. La description des enjeux sanitaires et de l'état de santé des populations isolées dans les régions éloignées est cruciale pour la mise en œuvre d'une politique de santé optimisé en Guyane.

However, a number of different communities live in tropical forest areas.The principal objective of this study is to analyse the main epidemiological data that have resulted from clinical practice and investigations conducted at health centres in isolated areas of French Guiana and its borders. The results of HIV studies have highlighted particular events that promote the spread of outbreaks. Illegal gold miners therefore represent a significant number of cases. The importance of specific geographical border areas in epidemic dynamics has also been demonstrated. Investigations on shigellosis, influenza and, most importantly, on thiamine deficiency outbreaks in gold miners underline that precarious conditions lead to poor health. Cryptosporidiosis outbreaks among immunocompetent children also reflect the multifactorial dynamics of infectious diseases, including human behaviour and the characteristics of tropical ecosystems. The severity and diversity of parasitic, viral and bacterial co-infection associated to the need for nutrition security indicates the complexity of delivering medical care to remote populations. Finally, a study on malaria has attempted to offer a novel approach to identifying and treating asymptomatic infections in an Amerindian endemic transmission area. A description of the health status of neglected populations in remote areas is crucial to implementing a health policy in French Guiana. Considering the importance of controlling communicable disease and the severity and range of specific illnesses, new strategies are needed and should be discussed with the communities involved., Les études dans les régions isolées de la Guyane française sont rares. L'objectif principal de ce travail est d'analyser les principales données épidémiologiques résultant de des investigations sur les maladies infectieuses et épidémiques menées dans les centres de santé des régions isolées et frontalières de la Guyane. L’étude portant sur les personnes vivant avec le VIH a mit en évidence sur le plan spatial l'importance des zones fluviales frontalières qui constituent des zones actives de l’épidémie en termes de passage et de possible propagation mais aussi en termes de prévention, dépistage et traitement. Les investigations des épidémies de shigellose, de grippe et surtout de béribéri chez les orpailleurs soulignent le lien entre conditions de vie dégradées et problématiques de santé. La description des cas groupés de cryptosporidiose chez les enfants immunocompétents amérindiens reflètent les composantes multifactorielles des épidémies en zones isolées mettant en jeux des comportements humains spécifiques au sein d’écosystèmes tropicaux. La sévérité et la diversité des co-infections associés au besoin primaire de sécurité nutritionnelle rappellent les difficultés mais aussi l’urgence de l’adaptation des politiques de santé publiques aux populations éloignées. Enfin, l’étude menée sur le paludisme autochtone a tenté de discuter d’une nouvelle approche afin d’identifier et de traiter les infections asymptomatiques dans une zone de transmission endémique. La description des enjeux sanitaires et de l'état de santé des populations isolées dans les régions éloignées est cruciale pour la mise en œuvre d'une politique de santé optimisé en Guyane.

Le De regione et moribus Canadensium seu Barbarorum Novæ Franciæ a toujours été présenté comme un texte rédigé par le jésuite Joseph de Jouvency. Pourtant, une étude plus approfondie montre que certains éléments ne peuvent provenir ni d'un religieux, ni du XVIIIe siècle. On aurait plutôt à faire avec un auteur laïc du début du XVIIe siècle, qui a des informations de première main, puisqu'il est lui-même à Québec. Ce qui en fait un document précieux et un témoin privilégié de l’histoire du début de la Nouvelle-France, bien que traduit et retravaillé par des Jésuites. Jouvency, en l'insérant dans les Historiæ Societatis Jesu, l'a en effet censuré et a ajouté quelques passages au texte original. Quelle est l'opinion du véritable auteur, ce Français vivant à Québec, sur les « Barbares de Nouvelle-France » qu'il rencontre? Une étude du texte montre qu'il dépeint à la fois les bonnes et les mauvaises coutumes des tribus autochtones, nous renseignant ainsi sur l'état des indigènes peu après l'arrivée des premiers véritables colons de la Nouvelle-France. Une traduction française accompagne l'analyse du texte., De regione et moribus Canadensium seu Barbarorum Novæ Franciæ is studied as if it has been written by Jesuit Father Joseph de Jouvency. That being said, a more thorough research indicates that this text does not originate from such a pious man, nor from someone that lived during the eighteenth century. Indeed, the real author behind this text would more likely be a French who is laic and lived in Quebec city during the early seventeenth century. This revelation makes the document unique, despite the Jesuit’s adaptation both in language and content. For instance, Father Jouvency, the editor of the De regione who inserted it in the Historiae Societatis Jesu, censured and added some informations to the original text. It now becomes crucial to investigate the real opinion of the French Canadian author about these ‘‘Savages’’ that he met ? Our study shows that he described both good and bad native Americans customs, unveiling their life just after the arrival of the first French settlers in Quebec city. A French translation of the latin text also accompanies our analysis.

Harry Walters was appointed as the museum director and only curator on the opening of the Dine College, Dine meaning “Navajo” in Navajo language. The college was founded in 1973 and is one of a series of 33 community colleges on Native American reservations. Gerard Selbach (GS): Essentially I am doing research on the reasons why Native Americans have been opening museums, “tribal museums” as they are sometimes called, and on whether Native curators have implemented a specific museology in tun...

In the United States the protection of sacred mountains is guaranteed by the First Amendment, at least since 1978, when the American Indian Religious Freedom Act was passed. Subsequent legislative texts have enhanced the right of Native Americans to access sites located on federal land. Moreover tribes argue that the presence of other activities on their sacred sites is often akin to prohibiting their religion. While federal authorities often take Native American requests into account, they also tend to blur the reasons for protecting their sacred sites, arguing that other—often cultural and mainstream—reasons exist warranting the protection. On the other hand, strong mainstream lobbies are also a factor hampering Native American demands. This article is based on three examples of sacred mountains: Devils Tower, Cave Rock, and the San Francisco Peaks

La catégorie théologique de « gentils » que les Portugais emploient pour dénommer les premiers habitants du Brésil traduit la représentation que des chrétiens se font de la population du Nouveau Monde. Ce mode de désignation, qui distingue les Portugais des peuples conquérants de l’époque, sert leurs intérêts politiques et religieux. L’étude de l’évolution, d’après divers textes, des usages et du sens de ce terme lors de l’établissement de la colonisation montre que la notion englobante de gentilité, peu performante en matière d’identification, perd progressivement en extension ce qu’elle gagne en péjoration. La généralisation de la désignation « Indiens » marque le changement de statut de la population native. Observing and Naming during the 16th Century: the “Gentiles” in Brazil. — The theological category “Gentiles” used by the Portuguese to refer to Brazil’s natives conveys the Christian idea of the New World’s inhabitants. This term, quite different from the names used by the other 16th-century conquerors, served Portuguese political and religious interests. As the study of several sources shows, the extension of the notion “Gentilism”, which had limited effectiveness as a means of identification, narrowed down after the early days of colonization as it assumed a pejorative meaning. The generalized usage of the term “Indians” was evidence of a change in the native population’s status.

In 2021, the horrors of the Anglo-American academies designed to educate the Native American children, plagued by a high degree of mortality and systemic bad treatment, were disclosed to a wide audience. Yet, the horrendous conditions of these schools, their inequities and violence had already been denounced much earlier. Despite their socio-cultural differences, every Native American child, and the people they came from, had to cope with colonization and the hegemony of the Anglo-American society, adamant about imposing its values and system. Disparaged as "savages", Native Americans had to deal with the deceptive alternative of "get civilized or vanish". The education of Native American children was part and parcel of this process. Some Native American kids, who managed to master the semiotic codes of the colonial society, recorded their experiences in autobiographical narratives. This article intends to shed light on these seminal accounts, mainly written from the middle of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century. It will show how they described the difficult and often harsh change from their indigenous society and traditional education to Anglo-American academies, which often led them to feel like "strangers" in their own land in spite of how hard they tried to get assimilated.

26. 'This Rude Chivalry of the Wilderness': Chivalry and Native Americans in Cooper’s and Irving’s American Novels

“In the four quarters of the globe, who reads an American book?” This oft-quoted sentence actually comes from a review written by Sidney Smith in January 1820 for the Edinburgh Review of Adam Seybert’s book, Statistical Annals of the United States of America. Yet this text also follows, in the same issue, an article reviewing the whole of Scott’s texts that had been so far published and which quotes lengthy excerpts from the latest romance, Ivanhoe. This book in particular, which takes medieval England as its background, was probably one of the most widely read of the Waverley Novels in America. The enthusiasm of the American readership in the early decades of the 19th century seems to reveal a general attraction for the European Middle Ages. Indeed, Scott’s American contemporaries resort to the medieval apparatus that was brought back into fashion by Ivanhoe – stereotypes of knight-errantry, damsels in distress, code of honour, etc. – to describe the Native Americans that people their narratives. Both Cooper – the “American Scott” – and Washington Irving thus transplant medieval features onto the wilderness, thereby presenting the New World as a land calling for chivalric feats, paradoxically endowing that supposed pristine landscape with a general atmosphere of romance.

Robert Paris, Indigenism and Socialism, or Desire and Repression The formation of Mariategui's political thought in relation to his desire for socialism is both the legacy of his European experience and marxism ; it is also the ambiguous relationship he maintains with the repressed history of Peru and of Latin America. It is this history that is sought in attempting to transcend different historical forms of Indigenism in the attempt to find a social solution to the problem of Native American emancipation., Paris Robert. Indigénisme et socialisme, ou le désir et le refoulé. In: L'Homme et la société, N. 121-122, 1996. Citoyenneté et lutte des classes. pp. 91-100.
