New Books in History presents an interview with University of Pittsburgh professor Gonzalo Lamana, author of the new book, How "Indians" Think: Colonial Indigenous Intellectuals and the Question of Critical Race Theory. Lamana considers the terms "Indians" and "Whiteness" while examining the development of critical race theory in colonial Latin America. By evaluating the works of important indigenous intellectuals from the past, Lamana provides valuable context for the social climate of today.
