How does a culture in which writing is not a prominent feature
create historical tradition? In" The Politics of Memory," Joanne
Rappaport answers this question by tracing the past three centuries
of the intellectual history of the Nasa--a community in the
Colombian Andes. Focusing on the Nasa historians of the eighteenth
through twentieth centuries, Rappaport highlights the differences
between "native" history and Eurocentric history and demonstrates
how these histories must be examined in relation to the particular
circumstances in which they were produced.
Reconsidering the predominantly mythic status of non-Western
historical narrative, Rappaport identifies the political realities
that influenced the form and content of Andean history, revealing
the distinct historical vision of these stories. Because of her
examination of the influences of literacy in the creation of
history, Rappaport's analysis makes a special contribution to Latin
American and Andean studies, solidly grounding subaltern texts in
their sociopolitical contexts.
