Tilley (political science, Hobart and William Smith College) describes this study of imagery, discourse, and power surrounding Indians in El Salvador as an attempt to examine "the discourse of indigeneity in order to illuminate the workings of state hegemony (in the Gramscian sense) as it has played out in an evolving international normative environment of a constructed international system." Her analysis incorporates a Foucauldian sense of discourse and a Geertzian understanding of culture in order to show how indigenous/state contestations of "Indian-ness" have played out politically within the context of national attempts to project El Salvador as a racially unified society and indigenous attempts to assert themselves politically.
