Manifest Destinies and Indigenous Peoples: Edited by David Maybury-Lewis; Edited by Theodore Macdonald; Edited by Biorn Maybury-Lewis; The renowned anthropologist and human rights advocate David Maybury-Lewis saw the Latin American frontiers as relatively unknown physical spaces as well as unexplored academic “territory.” The authors examine the narrative forms that stirred or rationalized expansion, and emphasize their impact on the native residents. The essays suggest a view of nationalism as a theoretical concept and of frontier expansion as a historical phenomenon.; Paperback May 2009
