As novas proposições teóricas e conceituais da História e da Antropologia sobre os processos de mestiçagem da América têm conduzido à idéia de identidades plurais e à percepção de que as categorias étnicas são historicamente construídas e adquirem significados distintos conforme os tempos, os espaços e os agentes sociais em contato. Este trabalho apresenta uma reflexão sobre esses significados enfocando especialmente os interesses dos índios aldeados do Rio de Janeiro em suas relações com os demais grupos étnicos e sociais com os quais interagiam. Prioriza-se o período das reformas pombalinas ao século XIX, quando as disputas em torno dessas classificações tornaram-se mais visíveis na documentação: enquanto autoridades políticas e intelectuais afirmavam a condição de mistura e dispersão dos índios aldeados, estes últimos reivindicavam direitos com base na identidade indígena. Essas disputas por classificações étnicas são vistas como disputas políticas e sociais que não se dissociavam dos conflitos em torno das terras das aldeias e das políticas indigenistas...
