Description
Gose describes the native peasantry of an Andean town, and how they develop a cultural identity, a cosmology, and a political economy through the rituals that accompany their work in the fields. The setting is Huaquirca, a remote agricultural town of 800 people in southern Peru. The main theme of the study is the complex seasonal round of work parties and rituals that takes place in the fields surrounding Huaquirca. These, above all other activities, define "Indian" cultural identity, linking it to the agrarian occupation and world view of a peasantry. Paper edition Canadian call no. C94-930824-2. Annotation c.
