Taking on existing interpretations of "Peruvian exceptionalism," this book presents a multi-sited ethnographic exploration of the local and transnational articulations of indigenous movements, multicultural development policies, and indigenous citizenship in Peru.

"Garcia has fashioned a book that's terrific in every way. Her subject is the politics of culture, tradition, and identity in the Andes, and it's the best thing I've read on the topic in as long as I can remember. Making Indigenous Citizens will become a key book in scholarship about the Andes and Latin America."--Orin Starn, Duke University
"...without question an essential new read."--Journal of Latin American Anthropology
