ABSTRACT
It is by now commonplace to assert that the nation-state is undergoing profound transformations. The idea of the homogeneous nation-state, which is associated with a uniform conception of citizenship, and a common sense of national community and identity, is challenged by ethnic and cultural revival within and among states. This revival is associated with more complex conceptions of citizenship and notions of community and identity-which may be more or less inclusive and exclusive-than those associated with the nation-state. A particularly important set of challenges emanates from indigenous people, due both to their particular history of incorporation, as well as their present status.2
