This book traces the interplay between the public structuring and regulation of identities and the creative processes of collective identification, appropriation and evasion of identities. It deals with the ways in which individuals and social groups have developed and enacted identities as cultural resources with different degrees of public recognition and political legitimation, and how these identities have had an impact in defining the boundaries of social order and diversity

“Micro-social and macro-structural aspects are wound together in a very wide analytical and comparative framework in an unprecedented way. Constitutes a very important contribution both to historical and to sociological and anthropological studies of Latin America.” —S. N. Eisenstadt, Professor Emeritus of Sociology, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
“A welcome addition to recent scholarship that seeks to expand the analytical boundaries of ‘the political’ and understands the interaction between the realms of politics and identity. The papers in this volume add yet more evidence to the contention that cultural understandings are complexly integrated, with categories built around ethinicity, class, nationality and so on – social markers that were once taken to be evident and transhistorical.” —Hispanic American Historical Review
