Kimbra L. Smith is Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs.
"Smith reveals the power of dominant racial geographies in Ecuador, which imagine the country's Pacific coast to be devoid of indigenous peoples, and thoughtfully explores how Agua Blancans' cultural performances and daily practices contest this invisibility. Smith weaves together descriptions of local performances of indigeneity for outside audiences, stories that circulate within the community, and day-to-day practices to demonstrate how Agua Blancans have been transformed by and in turn have transformed dominant languages of indigeneity and invisibility within their specific local context."
--Maximilian Viatori, author of One State, Many Nations: Indigenous Rights Struggles in Ecuador
