Set against conventional views of Peru as a place where indigenous
mobilization has been absent, this book examines the complex,
contentious politics between intercultural activists, local Andean
indigenous community members, state officials, non-governmental
organizations, and transnationally-educated indigenous
intellectuals. It examines the paradoxes and possibilities of
Quechua community protests against intercultural bilingual
education, official multicultural policies implemented by state and
non-state actors, and the training of "authentic" indigenous
leaders far from their home communities. Focusing on important
local sites of transnational connections, especially in the
highland communities of Cuzco, and on an international academic
institute for the study of intercultural bilingual education, this
book shows how contemporary indigenous politics are inextricably
and simultaneously local and global. In exploring some of the
seeming contradictions of Peruvian indigenous politics, Making
Indigenous Citizens suggests that indigenous movements and
citizenship are articulated in extraordinary but under-explored
ways in Latin America and beyond.
In recent years, Peru has transformed from a war-torn country to a
global high-end culinary destination. Connecting chefs, state
agencies, global capital, and Indigenous producers, this
"gastronomic revolution" makes powerful claims: food unites
Peruvians, dissolves racial antagonisms, and fuels development.
Gastropolitics and the Specter of Race critically evaluates these
claims and tracks the emergence of Peruvian gastropolitics, a
biopolitical and aesthetic set of practices that reinscribe
dominant racial and gendered orders. Through critical readings of
high-end menus and ethnographic analysis of culinary festivals,
guinea pig production, and national-branding campaigns, this work
explores the intersections of race, species, and capital to reveal
links between gastronomy and violence in Peru.

Indian Subjects: Hemispheric Perspectives on the History of
Indigenous Education brings together an outstanding group of
anthropology, history, law, education, literature, and Native
studies scholars. This book addresses indigenous education
throughout different regions and eras, predominantly within the
twentieth century. Many of the contributors have tackled the
boarding school experiences of their communities. The histories of
these boarding schools, whether run by the federal government or
religious orders, dominate academic and community views of
indigenous education, and the lessons learned demonstrate the
devastating impact of colonialism and assimilation efforts just as
they document multiple Native responses. The lessons from these
histories in the United States and Canada have been valuable, but
provide a fairly narrow view of indigenous educational history.
Indian Subjects pushes beyond that history toward hemispheric and
even global conversations, fostering a critically neglected
scholarly dialogue that has too often been limited by regional and
national boundaries.
No hay duda de que los Laboratorios de Fabricacion Digital son,
actualmente, un fenomeno en auge. La popularizacion de elementos
tecnologicos apropiados para el prototipado y el diseno como las
impresoras 3D, las cortadoras laser o la microelectronica
OpenHardware y el cambio cultural que propicia la evolucion del DIY
(Do It Yourself) al DIWO (Do It With Others), han servido de
perfecto trampolin para la popularizacion de un nuevo espacio de
creacion digital amparado en la cultura Maker: los FabLabs. A
traves de este documento se comparte la informacion referente al
"estado del arte" del movimiento FabLab en el ano 2016 a traves de
sus datos, tomando como referencia la informacion obtenida a partir
del cuestionario FabLab Global Survey desarrollado por el grupo
ATICI del Departamento de Administracion de Empresas de la
Universidad de Cantabria.
