Summary
In nineteenth-century Latin America, the idea that indigenous people were like children (that is to say primitive, sentimental, and innocent) was advanced in the interest of contradicting another, equally harmful characterization – that of the “Indian” as a menacing figure that would unify the nation as an object of collective antagonism.
