Le conseguenze della «razza»: la costruzione dell'immaginario andino in Perù

Abstract

Starting from the ethnographic analysis of some Aymara mobilizations in the south of Peru against a mining project on the territories of the local population, in this article I will show that more than the validity of the notion of «race» – of which scientific groundlessness has long been demonstrated – those that have been defined by Marisol de la Cadena as the «consequences of the notion itself» remain, within social and political relations and in Peru's national construction.
