“Smale’s careful and close study of labor activism in the city of
Oruro in the first three decades of the twentieth century is to be
welcomed. There is a wealth of information here, and it is carefully
documented and well written and its narrative of struggles of
the Oruro workers is compelling.”

Indigenismo, Society, and Modernity
JORGE CORONADO
“City at the Center of the World explores the emergence of Quito,
Ecuador, as a modern national capital. Capello’s elegantly written
and well-organized study examines strategic moments in the city’s
history in relation to their colonial past and regional contexts as
city elites and indigenous communities worked to reshape ‘traditional’
historical discourses and city spaces to craft a modern capital
to their respective advantage.”

“[This] book will remain essential reading for some time to come . . .
Crabtree’s introduction to the volume and Whitehead’s comparative and historical
conclusions are masterful, and offer insights into how scholarship on
Bolivian politics is ideologicaly framed.”

ILLUMINATIONS: CULTURAL FORMATIONS OF THE AMERICAS
“Provocative and distinctly original.”
—Bulletin of Latin American Research
“A much-needed work on the cultural, aesthetic, and political dimensions
of Peruvian indigenismo, arguably one of the most important and
influential trends to have emerged in Latin America during the first half
of the twentieth century. The analysis is solid, thorough, and convincing.”
—Carlos Aguirre, University of Oregon
