- Research Interests:
Irene Silverblatt, Ph.D. University of Michigan, 1981,
researches the cultural dimensions of state- building
and colonization in Latin America. She is particularly
interested in the relation of gender, racial discourses,
and historical memory to the construction and
experience of power. As a Rockefeller and
Guggenheim Foundation Fellow, she will be writing a
social history of Peru's political ideologies and the
making of colonial Andean subjects. These concerns,
combined with an interest in the history of
anthropology, orient her next project on the emerging
fields of Andean ethnography--in the United States and
Peru--during World War II and the first decades of the
Cold War. Her publications include Moon, Sun, and
Witches: Gender Ideologies and Class in Inca and
Colonial Peru (1987); "Imperial Dilemmas, the Politics
of Kinship, and Inca Reconstructions of History," (1988),
winner of the American Society for Ethnohistory's
Heizer prize; and numerous articles.
