Abstract

Latin-American peripheral anthropology (that which is practiced outside of England, France and the United States) works with a singular epistemic subject. Toe Other which it studies is not distant and transoceanic; it is internai and nearby. From the standpoint of the knowing subject, this entails an ethical engagement with nation building, as n1anifested in the form of indigenismo, a phenomenon which marks the development of Anthropology throughout Latin America. The concepts of interethnic friction and ethnodevelopment indicate the specificity of our dilemmas and reveal the importance which the national context assumes in determining the horizon of our research efforts.
