Earth Beings is the fruit of Marisol de la Cadena's decade-long
conversations with Mariano and Nazario Turpo, father and son,
runakuna or Quechua people. Concerned with the mutual entanglements
of indigenous and nonindigenous worlds, and the partial connections
between them, de la Cadena presents how the Turpos' indigenous ways
of knowing and being include and exceed modern and nonmodern
practices. Her discussion of indigenous political strategies—a
realm that need not abide by binary logics—reconfigures how to
think about and question modern politics, while pushing her readers
to think beyond "hybridity" and toward translation, communication
that accepts incommensurability, and mutual difference as
conditions for ethnography to work.Â
