Return to the Village

"Compiled by Dr. Francisco Ferreira and eminent American anthropologist Professor Billie Jean Isbell, this edited volume brings together several scholars who have produced outstanding ethnographies of Andean communities. Originally published between the 1970s and 2000s by eminent scholars in the field, the stories behind these ethnographies have now been brought together for the first time and give a fascinating insight into 20th-century South American communities. Contributors also review their original methodological and theoretical approaches and findings, reassessing their validity and explaining how their views have evolved or changed since they originally conducted their fieldwork."--
