Praise for Who Defines Indigenous? "Virtually all of the scholarship on identity sees it as something that comes from the bottom-up.

Martinez Novo not only poses this rather interesting problem, but investigates it with an innovative methodology and supports it with sound scholarship."
-Steve Striffler, author of In the Shadows of State and Capital
