Combining personal and family recollections with incisive accounts
of academic, political, and institutional experiences, The Art of
Memory offers a remarkable account of the life of one of the
foremost Latin American ethnographers and a leading expert in
Indigenous cultures, peoples, and cosmologies. Varese narrates the
story of his journey from Italy to Peru, his formative years as an
Anthropologist and the critical work he did with Amazonian
communities in the 1970s, his transformation into an activist
scholar, his move to Mexico and his long-standing commitment with
the peoples of Oaxaca, and his life as an academic in the United
States. The reader will appreciate the honesty and transparency
with which Varese brings out all these experiences. This
extraordinary book combines the personal, the political, and the
transnational to produce a vivid account of a unique and fulfilling
journey.
