Description
"The book brings together ethnographic essays based on anthropological fieldwork in Northern Potosi, Bolivia, spanning the last 25 years. The introduction contextualises the pieces within the empirical and analytical developments in Latin American and Andean anthropology. The essays discuss key concerns and cultural symbols of the indigenous peasants of the Andes; the importance of the land and practices relating to its continued fertility; the cult of the dead; the complex division of labour and forms of circulation within the indigenous economy; questions of gender; and the mythological figure of the earth-mother, Pachamama. While based upon detailed ethnographic research, each chapter also engages in theoretical and analytical debate both within and beyond the discipline."--BOOK JACKET.
