Martin Breuer is an academic assistant at the Center for InterAmerican Studies of Bielefeld University, Germany. His research focuses on the histories of international development cooperation and Inter-American Indigenismo. He studied History and Political Science in Berlin, Madrid, Bielefeld and Lima.
Currently he is working on his doctoral thesis on the history of the Andean Indian Program (AIP, 1953-1972), a joint development project of Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru in collaboration with the International Labor Organization which aimed at “modernizing” and integrating the Quechua and Aymaran communities of the Andean altiplano into the respective national communities.
His dissertation discusses how actors, ideas and practices of Inter-American Indigenismo and emerging systems of international development cooperation became entangled in projects like the PIA. It furthermore argues that this intersection framed the categorization of the Indigenous population as an aim of development, which underlay state driven indigenista policies of the time. By doing so, the thesis contributes to broaden the debate on the history of Inter-American Indigenismo during the second third of the 20th century and to regionalize the historiography of international development cooperation.
