Arequipa, Peru’s second largest city, has the most intense regional culture in the central Andes. Arequipeños fiercely conceive of themselves as exceptional and distinctive, yet also broadly representative of the nation’s overall hybrid nature—a blending of coast (modern, “white”) and sierra (traditional, “indigenous”). The Independent Republic of Arequipa investigates why and how this regional identity developed in a boom of cultural production after the War of the Pacific (1879–1884) through the mid-twentieth century.
Drawing on decades of ethnographic fieldwork, Thomas F. Love offers the first anthropological history of southwestern Peru’s distinctive regional culture. He examines both its pre-Hispanic and colonial altiplano foundations (anchored in continuing pilgrimage to key Marian shrines) and the nature of its mid-nineteenth century “revolutionary” identity in cross-class resistance to Lima’s autocratic control of nation-building in the post-Independence state. Love then examines Arequipa’s early twentieth-century “mestizo” identity (an early and unusual case of “browning” of regional identity) in the context of raging debates about the “national question” and the “Indian problem,” as well as the post-WWII development of extravagant displays of distinctive bull-on-bull fighting that now constitute the very performance of regional identity. Love’s research reveals that Arequipa’s “traditional” local culture, symbolically marked by populist, secular, and rural elements, was in fact a project of urban-based, largely middle-class cultural entrepreneurs, invented to counter continuing Limeño autocratic power, marked by nostalgia, and anxious about the inclusion of the nation’s indigenous majority as full modern citizens.

Описание: In the first hours there was nothing, no fear or sadness, just a black and perfect silence.
Nando Parrado was unconscious for three days before he woke to discover that the plane carrying his rugby team, as well as their family members and supporters, to an exhibition game in Chile had crashed somewhere deep in the Andes. He soon learned that many were dead or dying—among them his own mother and sister. Those who remained were stranded on a lifeless glacier at nearly 12,000 feet above sea level, with no supplies and no means of summoning help.
They struggled to endure freezing temperatures, deadly avalanches, and then the devastating news that the search for them had been called off.
As time passed and Nando’s thoughts turned increasingly to his father, who he knew must be consumed with grief, Nando resolved that he must get home or die trying. He would challenge the Andes, even though he was certain the effort would kill him, telling himself that even if he failed he would die that much closer to his father.
It was a desperate decision, but it was also his only chance. So Nando, an ordinary young man with no disposition for leadership or heroism, led an expedition up the treacherous slopes of a snow-capped mountain and across forty-five miles of frozen wilderness in an attempt to find help.
Thirty years after the disaster Nando tells his story with remarkable candor and depth of feeling.
Miracle in the Andes—a first person account of the crash and its aftermath—is more than a riveting tale of true-life adventure: it is a revealing look at life at the edge of death and a meditation on the limitless redemptive power of love.

Описание: Who was the “Mysterious Sofía,” whose letter in November 1934 was sent from Washington DC to Mexico City and intercepted by the Mexican Secret Service? In The Mysterious Sofía Stephen J. C. Andes uses the remarkable story of Sofía del Valle to tell the history of Catholicism’s global shift from north to south and the importance of women to Catholic survival and change over the course of the twentieth century. As a devout Catholic single woman, neither nun nor mother, del Valle resisted religious persecution in an era of Mexican revolutionary upheaval, became a labor activist in a time of class conflict, founded an educational movement, toured the United States as a public lecturer, and raised money for Catholic ministries—all in an age dominated by economic depression, gender prejudice, and racial discrimination. The rise of the Global South marked a new power dynamic within the Church as Latin America moved from the margins of activism to the vanguard.
Del Valle’s life and the stories of those she met along the way illustrate the shared pious practices, gender norms, and organizational networks that linked activists across national borders. Told through the eyes of a little-known laywoman from Mexico, Andes shows how women journeyed from the pews into the heart of the modern world.

Автор: Babel, Anna, Название: Between the Andes and the Amazon : ISBN: 0816537267 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780816537266 Издательство: Turpin Рейтинг: Цена: 72630.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Why can’t a Quechua speaker wear pants? Anna M. Babel uses this question to open an analysis of language and social structure at the border of eastern and western, highland and lowland Bolivia. Through an exploration of categories such as political affiliation, ethnic identity, styles of dress, and histories of migration, she describes the ways that people understand themselves and others as Quechua speakers, Spanish speakers, or something in between. Between the Andes and the Amazon is ethnography in storytelling form, a rigorous yet sensitive exploration of how people understand themselves and others as members of social groups through the words and languages they use. Drawing on fifteen years of ethnographic research, Babel offers a close examination of how people produce oppositions, even as they might position themselves “in between” those categories. These oppositions form the raw material of the social system that people accept as “normal” or “the way things are.” Meaning-making happens through language use and language play, Babel explains, and the practice of using Spanish versus Quechua is a claim to an identity or a social position. Babel gives personal perspectives on what it is like to live in this community, focusing on her own experiences and those of her key consultants. Between the Andes and the Amazon opens new ways of thinking about what it means to be a speaker of an Indigenous or colonial language—or a mix of both.
What happens when a seemingly rational state becomes paranoid and delusional? The Encrypted State engages in a close analysis of political disorder to shed new light on the concept of political stability. The book focuses on a crisis of rule in mid-20th-century Peru, a period when officials believed they had lost the ability to govern and communicated in secret code to protect themselves from imaginary subversives. The Encrypted State engages the notion of sacropolitics--the politics of mass group sacrifice--to make sense of state delusion. Nugent interrogates the forces that variously enable or disable organized political subjection, and the role of state structures in this process. Investigating the role of everyday cultural practices and how affect and imagination structure political affairs, Nugent provides a greater understanding of the conditions of state formation, and failure.

Описание: Jagged Horizons is a true story; the heart-felt and tension filled saga of a young missionary pilot's experiences flying in the Andes, a story which begins many years before, deep in the heart of a young boy who wanted to both fly, and serve others. His memoirs hold nothing back in telling the story of a new missionary pilot who accepts a call to fly in the Andes. He takes the reader into the cockpit of his aircraft, and into his mind while flying into treacherous airstrips in the mountains as well as the Amazonian rainforests. You will experience missionary flying as if you were there. Years earlier however, the right people come into his life; the right set of circumstances converge and his dream to serve unfolds. He meets " Neatzie," the lady who would become his wife and influence his life immensely. As a former missionary she encourages and supports his choice to offer his skills as a pilot/mechanic to serve others through mission aviation. Together, after years of preparation the couple, with their young children accept a call to serve with Andes Evangelical Mission based in Cochabamba, Bolivia, South America. But nothing could prepare them for the adjustments to a new way of life, a new climate, the chronic stomach illnesses known as "amoebas"; the long hours of language study, cultural faux pas, misunderstandings, and altitude sickness. Only time, faith and experience fashions the young 500 hour aviator into the pilot he needs to be to survive his calling. His formal training is cut short when his training pilot and predecessor takes ill. Alone he must face the challenges of flying a small Cessna 206 over the turbulent cloud covered 16000 foot mountain ranges. He learns how to find his way around the country using a watch, a compass and maps with the label " Relief Data Incomplete." He must learn to master the skill of landing on mountain airstrips at 14000 feet and taking off with a planeload of missionaries, or a critically ill passenger from tiny grass fields sculptured by hand from the jungle vegetation in the Bolivian Amazon . Over time he does learn, but soon realizes that his naive notion of assured divine protection must be tempered by improving his skills, learning humility, overcoming his fears and turning his mistakes into flying lessons to become a better and safer pilot. The glamour of flying in the Andes, for the Lord is quickly overshadowed by his many encounters with the unknown, the unexpected and the unforeseen....but he survives, and through the aviation ministry makes a difference in the lives of many people. In time the couple and their children settle into their new home in the mountain city of Cochabamba surrounded by the magnificent peaks of the Andes. Together they overcome cultural and language barriers, financial hardships, discouragement and at low points even questions why they came to Bolivia. All along the way their faith is challenged. Soon they begin to see direction to their calling, and purpose seems to materialize. They adjust and circumstances bring them to see that their time in Bolivia has indeed been worthwhile. But the story is more than just an aviation adventure story. It is the account of an ordinary young couple who simply wanted to make a difference. Their time in Bolivia is cut short, their dream to serve and to live out their lives together, raising their young family faces a far greater challenge than the Andes...a fatal illness, a loss and a new beginning and many questions... ....... A must read book for aspiring missionary pilots who also feel the powerful divine call to serve others in this challenging ministry.

Описание: Now in print for the very first time, full-text transcripts from the leading true-crime podcast When Elizabeth Andes was found bound, stabbed, and strangled in her Ohio apartment in 1978, police and prosecutors decided within hours it was an open-and-shut case. Within days, Bob Young, a 23-year-old football player who'd found his college sweetheart's lifeless body on their bedroom floor, was charged with her murder. To this day, police and prosecutors still say they had the right guy--even though two juries, one criminal and one civil, disagreed, and Young walked away a free man. Beth's case went cold. Nearly four decades later, two Cincinnati reporters re-examined the murder and discovered that law enforcement ignored leads that might have uncovered who really killed Beth Andes. It wasn't that there weren't other people to look at. There were plenty. But no one bothered...until now.

Описание: In Women's Place in the Andes Florence E. Babb draws on four decades of anthropological research to reexamine the complex interworkings of gender, race, and indigeneity in Peru and beyond. She deftly interweaves five new analytical chapters with six of her previously published works that exemplify currents in feminist anthropology and activism. Babb argues that decolonizing feminism and engaging more fully with interlocutors from the South will lead to a deeper understanding of the iconic Andean women who are subjects of both national pride and everyday scorn. This book's novel approach goes on to set forth a collaborative methodology for rethinking gender and race in the Americas.
