Remaking Indigeneity in the Amazon: Christianity, Colonization and the State

Drawing on archival and ethnographic work, this book analyses how indigeneity, Christianity, and state-making became intertwined in the Colombian Amazon throughout the 20th century.

Esteban Rozo is a Professor of Anthropology at Universidad Nacional de Colombia in Bogotá. His research focuses on how conversion to Christianity in the Colombian Amazon relates to processes of colonization, state-formation and the emergence of new forms of indigeneity.
