The book analyzes indigenista writings, the multidisciplinary work of osé Marìa Arguedas, and the anthropological experiments of the nineteen-fifties. It addresses the relevance of transculturation theory in a transnational age and analyzes the emergence of new visual media in a cultural context long defined by the oral-textual divide.
