Publisher Description

Abstract. This article examines the development of indigenismo in Colombia from 1927 to 1947. As a national and state-sanctioned cultural movement, Colombian indigenismo did not achieve the same development and importance as its Peruvian and Mexican counterparts. However, Colombian indigenismo created a cultural and political space that rediscovered and valorized the indigenous communities and their culture. More importantly, this cultural movement had a significant political impact in that it created links between the new national intellectuals of the 1930s and the social indigenous movement in the southwestern department of the Cauca. The present-day success of the indigenous movement in Colombia, and in particular that of the Cauca, can be linked in part to the development of indigenismo. Resumen. Este articulo examina el desarrollo del indigenismo en Colombia desde 1927 a 1947. El indigenismo en Colombia fue un movimiento que recibio un apoyo del Estado nacional pero nunca tuvo la misma importancia que el indigenismo en Peru y en Ecuador. Sin embargo el indigenismo colombiano creo un espacio politico y cultural que re-descubrio y valorizo las comunidades indigenas y su cultura. Ademas este movimiento cultural tuvo un impacto politico importante porque contribuyo a la creacion de vinculos entre los nuevos intelectuales nacionales de los 1930 y el movimiento social indigena en el Suroeste de Colombia. El exito de hoy en dia del movimiento indigena en Colombia y en particular, del Cauca, puede vincularse en parte al desarrollo del indigenismo.
