A growing number of language varieties with diverse backgrounds and structural typologies have been identified as mixed. However, the debate on the status of many varieties and even on the existence of the category of “mixed languages” continues still today. This volume examines the current state of the theoretical and empirical debate on mixed languages and presents new advances from a diverse set of mixed language varieties. These cover well-known mixed languages, such as Media Lengua, Michif, Gurindji Kriol, and Kallawaya, and varieties whose classification is still debated, such as Reo Rapa, Kumzari, Jopará, and Wutun. The contributions deal with different aspects of mixed languages, including descriptive approaches to their current status and origins, theoretical discussions on the language contact processes in them, and analysis of different types of language mixing practices. This book contributes to the current debate on the existence of the mixed language category, shedding more light onto this fascinating group of languages and the contact processes that shape them.

Contrary to ingrained academic and public assumptions, wherein indigenous lowland South American societies are viewed as the product of historical emplacement and spatial stasis, there is widespread evidence to suggest that migration and displacement have been the norm, and not the exception. This original and thought-provoking collection of case studies examines some of the ways in which migration, and the concomitant processes of ecological and social change, have shaped and continue to shape human-environment relations in Amazonia. Drawing on a wide range of historical time frames (from pre-conquest times to the present) and ethnographic contexts, different chapters examine the complex and important links between migration and the classification, management, and domestication of plants and landscapes, as well as the incorporation and transformation of environmental knowledge, practices, ideologies and identities.

Uno de los grupo étnicos andinos a los cuales ha prestado una atención inusitada a la ciencia antropológica contemporánea en relación con la medicina, el ritual y la salud en los Andes, ha sido, sin ninguna duda, el de los Kallawayas bolivianos. Los Kallawayas constituyen en la actualidad un espeso enigma tanto para etnohistoriadores como para lingüístas y antropólogos. A pesar de los numerosos estudios de que han sido objeto, por parte de especialistas de diversas índole, que han alentado cierto orgullo étnico entre los actuales Kallawayas, así como un aire exótico y esotérico entre las élites paceñas respecto a los supuestos conocimientos mágicos que poseen, poco se conoce de una forma objetiva de este grupo de curanderos, representantes de una medicina aborigen, que les ha otorgado un apreciable reconocimiento internacional. Ubicados en una extensa área de valles interandinos, a medio camino entre el altiplano aymara y las tierras cálidas del trópico yungueño, puerta natural hacia los bosques y selvas del Beni, los Kallawayas han practicado, como la gran parte de las diversas sociedades y pueblos de los Andes, si bien en tonos diferenciados, una terapia médica peculiar, combinando aspectos provenientes de una amplia farmacopea popular con otros de indudable cariz ritualista.

Unequal Cures illuminates the connections between public health and political change in Bolivia from the beginning of the twentieth century, when the country was a political oligarchy, until the eve of the 1952 national revolution that ushered in universal suffrage, agrarian reform, and the nationalization of Bolivia’s tin mines. Ann Zulawski examines both how the period’s major ideological and social transformations changed medical thinking and how ideas of public health figured in debates about what kind of country Bolivia should become. Zulawski argues that the emerging populist politics of the 1930s and 1940s helped consolidate Bolivia’s medical profession and that improved public health was essential to the creation of a modern state. Yet she finds that at mid-century, women, indigenous Bolivians, and the poor were still considered inferior and consequently received often inadequate medical treatment and lower levels of medical care. Drawing on hospital and cemetery records, censuses, diagnoses, newspaper accounts, and interviews, Zulawski describes the major medical problems that Bolivia faced during the first half of the twentieth century, their social and economic causes, and efforts at their amelioration. Her analysis encompasses the Rockefeller Foundation’s campaign against yellow fever, the almost total collapse of Bolivia’s health care system during the disastrous Chaco War with Paraguay (1932–35), an assessment of women’s health in light of their socioeconomic realities, and a look at Manicomio Pacheco, the national mental hospital.
