| Description: |
Brings together several authors, all producers in the 1970s and 1980s of outstanding ethnographies of Andean communities in the Peruvian highlands. The authors revisit their original works in the light of contemporary anthropology. They explain how they chose the communities they worked in; the personal relations they established; the links they have maintained; and how these communities have changed over time. |
| Synopsis: |
Compiled by Dr. Francisco Ferreira and eminent anthropologist Professor Billie Jean Isbell, this edited volume brings together the work of several ground-breaking scholars who have produced outstanding ethnographies of Andean communities between the 1970s and 2000s. Contributors review their original works, reassessing key aspects of them - such as their methodological and theoretical approaches- and explaining how their views have evolved or changed since they published their ethnographies. Together, they give a fascinating overview and insight into Andean communities and anthropology. Overall, this edited volume aims to reflect on the role that community ethnographies have played in, and on their contribution to, the study of Andean culture.
