Abstract

Trials of Nation Making follows the interaction of indigenous
peoples with the new post-colonial states and nations in Bolivia,
Peru, Ecuador and Colombia. Drawing on the rapidly expanding
Andean nation and state formation literature, Larson has created
both a powerful synthesis of the existing literature and a series of
cogent arguments about the nature of post-colonial nation-states in the first century after independence.
