Abstract:

Investigating the efforts of the Kichwa of Tena, Ecuador to reverse language
shift to Spanish, this book examines the ways in which indigenous language can
be revitalized and how creative bilingual forms of discourse can reshape the
identities and futures of local populations. Based on deep ethnographic
fieldwork among urban, periurban, and rural indigenous Kichwa communities,
Michael Wroblewski explores adaptations to culture contact, language
revitalization, and political mobilization through discourse.

Expanding the ethnographic picture of native Amazonians and their traditional
discourse practices, this book focuses attention on Kichwas' diverse
engagements with rural and urban ways of living, local and global ways of
speaking, and indigenous and dominant intellectual traditions. Wroblewski
reveals the composite nature of indigenous words and worlds through
conversational interviews, oral history narratives, political speechmaking,
and urban performance media, showing how discourse is a critical focal point
for studying cultural adaptation. Highlighting how Kichwas assert autonomy
through creative forms of self-representation, "Remaking Kichwa" moves the
study of indigenous language into the globalized era and offers innovative
reconsiderations of indigeneity, discourse, and identity.
