Product Details

Product Description

Product Description

The core of this book is an ethnographic account of Andean textiles and their place in daily life that considers how the form and content of Quechua patterns and designs pass stories down and preserve traditions as well as how the ritual use of textiles sustain a sense of community and a connection to the past. Heckman concludes by assessing the influences of the global economy on indigenous Quechua, who maintain their own worldview within the larger fabric of twentieth-century cultural values and hence have survived everything from Latin American militarism to a tidal wave of post-modern change.


From the Publisher

Andrea Heckman beautifully illustrates how the Quechua people of southern Peru tell their cultural stories in their textiles and use their weaving in centuries-old ceremonies, sustaining a connection to the past.
