Latin American Histories
ISBN: 9780195069280 / Angielski / Miękka / 512 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Peru is a country with a remarkable history---in the earliest times, the Incas managed to found a major civilization here, despite the region's environment, which is one of the harshest in the world. The Spanish colonial rule which followed the conquest exploited basic mineral resources in the area without bringing either stability or wealth to the existing population, and unfortunately, economic depression and civil war have frequently left their pockmarks on Peruvian history ever since. In this book, Klaren explores the country's long history, with particular emphasis on social and economic...

Of Mixed Blood : Kinship and History in Peruvian Amazonia
ISBN: 9780198273554 / Angielski / Twarda / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book is an ethnography of the native people of the Bajo Urubamba river in Peruvian Amazonia. Gow attempts to account for the fact that the people of this region appear to be very acculturated when compared to better-known indigenous Amazonian peoples. He argues that when native people's claims are viewed from the perspective of their own values, and in the context of their creation of life through the productive transformation of the forest and the commodity economy, they can be seen to form a coherent part of kinship. Historical change is thus revealed as interior to the ongoing...
