The exploration of mimesis and alterity delves into the intricate relationship between imitation and the dynamics of Self and Other, highlighting their ties to colonialism. Drawing on influential thinkers and ethnographic studies of the Cuna, the author illustrates the evolving instability of alterity. In a new preface, the author reflects on the lasting impact of the work since its original publication, offering a vigorous and unconventional analysis that enhances our comprehension of ethnography, racism, and societal structures.
