The book identifies a decisive break in the long history of representations of Indigenous peoples that began with the conquest. It links this transformation to the modern concept of culture, which redefined both the artistic field and the very notion of the Indigenous. As an abstraction produced through indigenist discourse, an icon of authenticity, and a densely racialized cultural construction, the figure of the Indigenous remains to this day a central axis of the national imagination.
