Heritage and the Politics of Cultural Obliteration
The Case of the Andes
The Andes runs the length of the South America, from northern Colombian to the southern reaches of Tierra del Fuego. The region has a varied historical legacy. However, central to these differing sociohistorical legacies is the traumatic genocide and ethnocide of the region's native (American) population as a result of European colonial expansion into the continent. In this chapter the work of the Andean anthropologist and writer José María Arguedas is used to examine the complex processes by which cultural heritage has both contributed to and helped in resistance to differing official forms of hegemonic control and ethnic decimation. Ultimately, the chapter assesses the manner in which native American communities reassess their identities, providing counter‐hegemonic ways to understand their histories and the production of the West in the Andes.
