Descrição
Resumo:Latin American indigenous migration is a multiethnic phenomenon, older than mestizo migration and with a transnational character due to ancient and vital community ties. Throughout the twentieth century indigenous migration in Latin America reconfigured the ethnic geography traced by modern states, not only within countries but also beyond the geopolitical lines that divide Latin America in the South from the U.S., Canada and the European continent in the North. This paper outlines a complex field of reflection about the different paths of indigenous migration flows in contemporary Latin America. Indigenous migration has had an impact on the redefinition of ethnic identities and in the new forms of resistance of indigenous peoples in the international economy, as well as in the reconstruction of indigenous consciousness in the ethnic configurations of more than one nation-state.
