Isi artikel

Starting from the local variations of the way Nahuatl people of Milpa Alta, Mexico City, have been identified, the first aim of this article is to explore the relations between the construction of autochthonous identities and the formation and transformation of a national identity, a process I call the effect of othering. The second aim is to suggest that attention to the local processes of identification offers a key to an anthropology of the nation and the state which decenters it from the categories of its own discourse.
