This volume examines how the search for "cultural authenticity," the dispute over the past, and the role of "modernity" have been instrumental in building the regional musical culture of the Mantaro Valley, a central Peruvian region with about half a million inhabitants. How these people have addressed concerns over the loss of ancient traditions by restructuring colonial and pre-Hispanic traditions into new contexts and forms is explored. Covering private and public music making, along with ritual, ceremonial, and popular uses of music, Romero studies the interaction of music and identity. The book is concerned with a modern regional culture, situated and defined in the context of an emergent nation, which is struggling to build a distinct cultural identity and to recreate values.

An adventure-filled and thought-provoking travelogue along Hunter S. Thompson's forgotten route through South America In 1963, twenty-five-year-old Hunter S. Thompson completed a yearlong journey across South America, filing a series of dispatches for an upstart paper called the National Observer. It was here, on the front lines of the Cold War, that this then-unknown reporter began making a name for himself. The Hunter S. Thompson who would become America's iconic "gonzo journalist" was born in the streets of Rio, the mountains of Peru, and the black market outposts of Colombia. In The Footloose American, Brian Kevin traverses the continent with Thompson's ghost as his guide, offering a ground-level exploration of twenty-first-century South American culture, politics, and ecology. By contrasting the author's own thrilling, transformative experiences along the Hunter S. Thompson Trail with those that Thompson describes in his letters and lost Observer stories, The Footloose American is at once a gripping personal journey and a thought-provoking study of culture and place.

Recasting Ritual explores how ritualized action diversifies in response to varying cultural, political and physical contexts. The contributors look at how issues such as globalisation and technology affect ritual performance and how minorities often utilise performances to affirm their own identites while also speaking to outsiders. The contributors examine the relationship between ritual meaning and social identity through case-studies drawn from the Pacific, Scandinavia, the Mediterranean, Latin America, Indonesia, and East and West Africa. Study of the theoretical underpinnings of social action affirms the independence of anthropology as a discipline from cultural, media and performance studies, according it a distinctive role in elucidating contemporary and emergent human conditions.

"A serious, well-crafted collection of essays first presented at a seminar during 1992-93 centers on identity. Analysis of the texts by José de Anchieta, Acosta, and Polo de Ondegardo lead to new understandings about cannibals in Brazil. Jesuit writings inform about the Chaqueños and their resistance to colonialism. Texts by F. Núñez de Pineda Bascuñán and Fray Juan Falcón offer contrasting views on Araucanian society. Also analyzes papers of the Malaspina Expedition for new insights. Other papers present research on the indigenismo movement and nationalism in 19th-20th centuries"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

Los trabajos reunidos aquí pretenden destacar la complejidad de la relación entre las culturas indígenas locales y los múltiples aspectos de la fe cristiana, y ofrecer nuevos paradigmas para los estudios en religión, historia y antropología. La multiplicidad de las formas de interacción entre quienes propagaron la religión católica y aquellos que la recibieron nos obliga a repensar la visión monolítica de la catequización o conversión de la América española como una enculturación masiva impuesta. También tendremos que descartar la idea simplista de una religión andina nacida de la combinación inadvertida de elementos europeos y andinos. Como lo dejan muy en claro las contribuciones de este libro, la realidad es al mismo tiempo más complicada y por ende más interesante.

Indigenous people constitute a large portion of Latin America's population and suffer from severe and widespread poverty. They are more likely than any other groups of a country's population to be poor. This study documents their socioeconomic situation and shows how it can be improved through changes in policy-influenced variables such as education. The authors review the literature of indigenous people around the world and provide a statistical overview of those in Latin America. Case studies profile the indigenous populations in Bolivia, Guatemala, Mexico and Peru, examining their distribution, education, income, labour force participation and differences in gender roles. A final chapter presents recommendations for conducting future research.

Languages are not only tools of communication, they also reflect a view of the world. Languages are vehicles of value systems and cultural expressions and are an essential component of the living heritage of humanity. Yet, many of them are in danger of disappearing. UNESCO's Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger tries to raise awareness on language endangerment. This third edition has been completely revised and expanded to include new series of maps and new points of view.
