Abstract
The reconstruction of identities that is taking place in the Americas is interconnected with the phenomenon of the Nation-State, for they are the consequences of colonization processes that have dominated peoples and disintegrated cultures. The national question - which began in the American colonial world as of the 1800’s independence movements in Latin America – has been articulated with contradictions. The resulting Nation-States took on the configuration of power of those who continued to pursue the same set of interests and privileges of the colonial power. For those under domination – native and black people – this meant the continuation of colonialism. This paper will investigate the ways through which these peoples have reconstructed their identities within a counter-hegemonic movement in the Brazilian and Guiana frontier. My goal is to study culture and nationalities based on categories of identity. Keywords: Brazil; Guyana; border; identities.
