Until now, Andean peasants have primarily been thought of by
scholars as isolated subsistence farmers, resistant to money and to
different markets in the region. Ethnicity, Markets, and Migration
in the Andes overturns this widely held assumption and puts in its
place a new perspective as it explores the dynamic between Andean
cultural, social, and economic practices and the market forces of a
colonial and postcolonial mercantile economy.
Bringing together the work of outstanding scholars in Andean
history, anthropology, and ethnohistory, these pioneering essays
show how, from the very earliest period of Spanish rule, Andean
peasants and their rulers embraced the new economic opportunities
and challenged or subverted the new structures introduced by the
colonial administration. They also convincingly explain why in the
twentieth century the mistaken idea developed that Andean peasants
were conservative and unable to participate effectively in
different markets, and reveal how closely ethnic inequalities were
tied to evolving market relations. Inviting a critical
reconsideration of ethnic, class, and gender issues in the context
of rural Andean markets, this book will revise the prevailing view
of Andean history and provide a more fully informed picture of the
complex mercantile activities of Andean peasants.
