Scholars from Anthropology, History, and Literary and Cultural
Studies present their current research on culture and violence in
the Andean region. Within an interdisciplinary approach, the
contributors to this volume explore the complex and mutually
constitutive relationship of culture and violence in Peru and
Bolivia, countries with large indigenous populations who have
largely preserved their culture and way of life in spite of
centuries of colonial domination and the encroachment of capitalist
modernization, including its latest free-market variant. The
intertwined histories of culture and violence in the Andes are
examined through analyses of the indigenous and popular
mobilization that brought Evo Morales to power as Bolivia's first
indigenous president, conservative Latin American intellectuals'
response to this popular rejection of neoliberal economic and
social policies, the work of Peru's Truth and Reconciliation
Commission and the legacy of the Shining Path war, and
nineteenth-century intellectual and political discourses on race,
gender, and the incorporation of indigenous peoples into the
nation-state.
