Despite the pervasiveness of barter across societies, this mode of
transaction has largely escaped the anthropologist's gaze. Drawing
on data from fairs in the Argentinean Andes, this book addresses a
local modality of barter known as cambio. Bringing out its
embeddedness within religious celebrations, it argues that cambio
is practiced as a sacrifice to catholic figures and local
ancestors, thereby challenging a widespread view of barter as a
non-monetary form of commodity exchange. This ethnography of Andean
barter considers processes of value creation, both economic and
subjective, to further our understanding of how social groups
create themselves through economic exchanges.
