Andean Ontologies is a fascinating interdisciplinary investigation
of how ancient Andean people understood their world and the nature
of being. Exploring pre-Hispanic ideas of time, space, and the
human body, these essays highlight a range of beliefs across the
region's different cultures, emphasizing the relational aspects of
identity in Andean worldviews. This volume breaks new ground by
bringing together an array of renowned specialists including
anthropologists, bioarchaeologists, historians, linguists,
ethnohistorians, and art historians to evaluate ancient Amerindian
ideologies through different interpretive lenses. Many are local
researchers from South American countries such as Ecuador, Peru,
Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina, and this volume makes their work
available to North American readers for the first time. Their
essays are highly contextualized according to the territories and
time periods studied. Instead of taking an external, outside-in
approach, they prioritize internal and localized views that
incorporate insights from today's indigenous societies. This
cutting-edge collection demonstrates the value of a multifaceted,
holistic, inside-out approach to the pre-Columbian world.
