Weaving the Past - A History of Latin America s Indigenous Women from Prehispanic

Zusatztext ...this is an important compilation and makes an admirable attempt to build and go beyond the particularity so often emphasised in ethnographic case studies. Informationen zum Autor Susan Kellogg is Associate Professor and Chair of the History Department at the University of Houston. Klappentext Weaving the Past is the first comprehensive history of Latin America's indigenous women. While concentrating mainly on native women in Mesoamerica and the Andes, it also covers indigenous peoples in a variety of areas of South and Central America. Drawing on primary and secondary sources, it argues that change, not continuity, has been the norm for indigenous peoples whose resilience in the face of complex and long-term patterns of cultural change is due in no small part to the roles, actions, and agency of women.
