Abstract
This research examines indigenous self-narratives, that is indigenous testimonies and autobiographies written in the last fifty years. The question that motivates my research is: What happened to the literary representations of indigenous people after indigenist writers stopped writing novels during the seventies? In opposition to indigenist writers, who used to portray indigenous people as the owners of an inherit tendency to spend their entire lives in their own communities and to possess the land communally, I am proposing that indigenous self-narratives represent new versions of the indigenous subject. These representations respond to the transformation of the social scenario from the fifties onwards: The entry of new social actors in the process of modernization in the Andes and the consecutives waves of indigenous people who migrated from rural areas to urban ones. These new indigenous subjects do not reject social mobility and are willing to adapt their identity to the new life -the new work regime and culture- they had to face in the cities. In addition, I am proposing that a key aspect to understanding the evolution of these narratives is the quest of each author(s) for finding new narrative structures to represent these changes in the Andean world, combining the way indigenist authors portrayed Andean men and narrated their stories with new ways to represent the Andean men and new narrative strategies from different traditions, such as the picaresque or the bildungsroman.
