For the past century, critics of Latin American literature have traditionally defined indianismo as an exotic mode of Romantic drama, poetry, and narrative, typically interested only in "Indians" of the pre-Columbian Empires, and characterized by escapist fantasies, erotic musings, and stereotyped protagonists suitable to these ends. In contrast with this term, indigenismo has generally been defined as politically engaged writing dedicated to denouncing the poverty and abuses suffered by living indigenes. Unfortunately, the tendency to study these literary modes separately has obscured their common origins and uses as rhetorical instruments of Creole nation-building in the

520 $a For the past century, critics of Latin American literature have traditionally defined indianismo as an exotic mode of Romantic drama, poetry, and narrative, typically interested only in "Indians" of the pre-Columbian Empires, and characterized by escapist fantasies, erotic musings, and stereotyped protagonists suitable to these ends. In contrast with this term, indigenismo has generally been defined as politically engaged writing dedicated to denouncing the poverty and abuses suffered by living indigenes. Unfortunately, the tendency to study these literary modes separately has obscured their common origins and uses as rhetorical instruments of Creole nation-building in the $1 9\rm\sp{th}$-century.
520 $a The thesis of this dissertation is that the representation of indigenous peoples in $1 9\rm\sp{th}$-century Latin American literature, whether Romantic or realist, exotic or reformist, forms part of a neocolonial discourse broadly analogous to European Orientalism as redefined by Edward Said. This discourse--which I call Indianism--was deployed by Latin American elites first to unite their peoples in the struggles for independence, and then to postpone indefinitely the promises of liberty, equality, and democracy used to consolidate their revolutions and their republics. To prove this thesis, I examine the development of Indianism in 19$\sp{\rm th}$-century Dominican, Peruvian, and Mexican literature, highlighting the tropes and rhetorical strategies the discourse shares with Orientalism.
520 $a Chapter One summarizes the history of literary criticism on indianismo and indigenismo, and explains my redefinition of Indianism as a neocolonial discourse. Chapter Two examines Indianism in the Dominican Republic, specifically in Javier Angulo Guridi's drama Iguaniona, Salome Urena's poem Anacaona, and Manuel de Jesus Galvan's novel Enriquillo. Chapter Three explores Indianism in Peru, in the poetry of Mariano Melgar, Carlos Augusto Salaverry, Constantino Carrasco, Clemente Althaus, and Carlos German Amezaga, in the drama Ollantay, and in novels by Narciso Arestegui, Jose Maria de la Jara, Cesar Doria, Jose Torres Lara, and Clorinda Matto de Turner. Chapter Four discusses Indianism in Mexico, in poems by Jose Maria Heredia, Ignacio Rodriguez Galvan, and Manuel Gutierrez-Najera, in the novelette Netzula, and in novels by Gen. Severo de Castillo, Eligio Ancona, Eulogio Palma y Palma, J. R. Hernandez, and Ignacio Altamirano. Conclusions are summarized in Chapter Five.
