Indigenous Alliance Making

Histories of Agency in Colonial Lowland South America

Herausgeber: Whitaker, James Andrew; Harris, Mark

Beschreibung

This volume foregrounds agency in examining histories of how Indigenous people in lowland South America intentionally engaged with outsiders in colonial and postcolonial eras.
