M.
Bianet Castellanos
is an anthropologist and a
core faculty member in American Studies. Her research interests focus on
indigenous communities in the Americas and their relationship
to the modern nation-state and global capitalism. She is currently writing
a book on the foundational role indigenous people play in the development
of tourism and transnational spaces in modern Mexico. In addition, she is
working on a new project that examines indigenous lives across national
boundaries, between Mexico’s
Yucatán Peninsula
and Los Angeles, California. This project explores the
way gender, class, and racial ideologies intersect to shape how
“indigeneity” and “community” are imagined within
immigrant communities and migration studies.
