A Hard-to-Grasp Identity : the Amazonian Caboblos
The Caboclos sense of identity is now an essential part of the culture in Amazonian areas of Brazil. The Caboclos, a group of metisses, make up the major part of the population but have been reduced to a low social rank. This analysis of how their identity has taken shape within the context of relations with Amerindian communities and the national society is based on a historical, semantic and ecological approach. Given its flexibility over time and space, it is difficult to set the limits of this sense of identity, which is especially hard to grasp. At present, it is being manipulated and mythified as an initially atomized sense of identity is modified by regional forms of political organization and the emergence of an "Amazonian discourse".
