Book Synopsis At the Mountains’ Altar by : Frank Salomon
Download or read book At the Mountains’ Altar written by Frank Salomon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-01-02 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In high-Andean Peru, Rapaz village maintains a temple to mountain beings who command water and weather. By examining the ritual practices and belief systems of an Andean community, this book provides students with rich understandings of unfamiliar religious experiences and delivers theories of religion from the realm of abstraction. From core field encounters, each chapter guides readers outward in a different theoretical direction, successively exploring the main paths in the anthropology of religion. As well as addressing classical approaches in the anthropology of religion to rural modernity, Salomon engages with newer currents such as cognitive-evolution models, power-oriented critiques, the ontological reworking of relativism, and the "new materialism" in the context of a deep-rooted Andean ethos. He reflects on central questions such as: Why does sacred ritualism seem almost universal? Is it seated in social power, human psychology, symbolic meanings, or cultural logics? Are varied theories compatible? Is "religion" still a tenable category in the post-colonial world? At the Mountains’ Altar is a valuable resource for students taking courses on the anthropology of religion, Andean cultures, Latin American ethnography, religious studies, and indigenous peoples of the Americas.
Book Synopsis Andean-U.S. Free-Trade Agreement Negotiations by :
Download or read book Andean-U.S. Free-Trade Agreement Negotiations written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In November 2003, the Administration notified Congress that it intended to begin negotiations on a free-trade agreement (FTA) with Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, and Bolivia. The notification said that an FTA would reduce and eliminate foreign barriers to trade and investment and would support democracy and fight drug activity in the Andean region. The Andean governments wanted to ensure access to the U.S. market, especially since their current trade preferences will terminate at the end of 2006. In the United States, the business community strongly supports the trade agreement, labor opposes it, and agriculture is split. The first round of negotiations was held with Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador (with Bolivia participating as an observer) in Cartagena, Colombia, in May 2004. The thirteenth round of negotiations was held in Washington, D.C. in November 2005. The thirteen round was expected to be the last, but when negotiators failed to conclude an agreement, Peru decided to continue negotiations with the United States while Colombia and Ecuador decided to step out. On December 7, 2005, the United States and Peru announced that they had successfully completed a bilateral free trade agreement. The USTR also announced that the United States will continue to negotiate with Colombia and Ecuador to broaden the agreement. Talks between the United States and Colombia are expected to resume in January 2006, while talks with Ecuador are expected to resume in February 2006. Negotiators from Colombia and Ecuador have expressed hope to conclude negotiations in the next set of meetings. The United States currently extends duty-free treatment to imports from the four Andean countries under a regional preference program. The Andean Trade Preference Act (ATPA) authorized the President to grant duty-free treatment to certain products, and the Andean Trade Promotion and Drug Eradication Act (ATPDEA) reauthorized the ATPA program and added products that had been previously excluded. Over half of all U.S. imports in 2004 from the Andean countries entered under these preferences. In 2004, the United States imported $15.5 billion from the four Andean countries and exported $7.7 billion. Colombia accounted for about half of U.S. trade with the region. Peru and Ecuador almost evenly split the other half, and Bolivia represented a very small share. The leading U.S. import from the region in 2004 was crude petroleum oil, which accounted for 37% of imports. Leading U.S. exports to the region were mining equipment, wheat, broadcasting equipment, and maize. There are several important issues in the FTA negotiations. The trade negotiators have stated that the main obstacles to concluding an agreement are in agriculture and intellectual property rights. Another major concern is the treatment of trade unionists, especially in Colombia, where union leaders are targeted by death squads. If an FTA is concluded, it is uncertain when an implementing bill might be considered in Congress. Legislation to implement the U.S.-Central AmericanDominican Republic FTA (CAFTA-DR) was enacted on August 2, 2005 (P.L. 10953). Given that CAFTA-DR passed only by a small margin, it is unclear how much support the U.S.-Andean FTA would have.
Book Synopsis Latin American and Caribbean Trade Agreements by : Thomas Andrew O'Keefe
Download or read book Latin American and Caribbean Trade Agreements written by Thomas Andrew O'Keefe and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latin American and Caribbean Trade Agreements: Keys to a Prosperous Community of the Americas is the essential reference guide for companies trading with Latin America and the Caribbean or wishing to use a country in the region as an export platform. This work fills the void in academic texts that are used to teach courses on economic integration in the Western Hemisphere. It provides a road map for the Obama Administration to launch an ambitious project designed to encourage economic growth, promote energy security, and reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions, while at the same time realistically meeting the development needs of Latin America and the Caribbean. Latin American and Caribbean Trade Agreements: Keys to a Prosperous Community of the Americas posits that the myopic focus of past United States administrations on free markets to spur economic development in the Western Hemisphere is not enough. A bolder and more ambitious project that also seeks to redress many of the deep-seated problems that have long plagued the region is required. The Community of the Americas proposed in this book rests upon the important work that has already been done at the sub-regional level in terms of economic and political reform, identifying infrastructure and human capital needs, and regulating migration. It provides a new and cohesive vision for U.S. policy in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Book Synopsis The Hold Life Has by : Catherine J. Allen
Download or read book The Hold Life Has written by Catherine J. Allen and published by Smithsonian Institution. This book was released on 2012-01-11 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second edition of Catherine J. Allen's distinctive ethnography of the Quechua-speaking people of the Andes brings their story into the present. She has added an extensive afterword based on her visits to Sonqo in 1995 and 2000 and has updated and revised parts of the original text. The book focuses on the very real problem of cultural continuity in a changing world, and Allen finds that the hold life has in 2002 is not the same as it was in 1985.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In their chapters the authors revisit their original works in the light of contemporary anthropology, focusing on different academic and personal aspects of their ethnographies.

Book Synopsis Politics In The Andes by : Jo-Marie Burt
Download or read book Politics In The Andes written by Jo-Marie Burt and published by University of Pittsburgh Pre. This book was released on 2004-02-22 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Andean region is perhaps the most violent and politically unstable in the Western Hemisphere. Politics in the Andes is the first comprehensive volume to assess the persistent political challenges facing Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela.Arguing that Andean states and societies have been shaped by common historical forces, the contributors' comparative approach reveals how different countries have responded variously to the challenges and opportunities presented by those forces. Individual chapters are structured around themes of ethnic, regional, and gender diversity; violence and drug trafficking; and political change and democracy.Politics in the Andes offers a contemporary view of a region in crisis, providing the necessary context to link the often sensational news from the area to broader historical, political, economic, and social trends.
Download or read book Tambo written by Julia Meyerson and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-07-05 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps the best way to sharpen one's power's of observation is to be a stranger in a strange land. Julia Meyerson was one such stranger during a year in the village of 'Tambo, Peru, where her husband was conducting anthropological fieldwork. Though sometimes overwhelmed by the differences between Quechua and North American culture, she still sought eagerly to understand the lifeways of 'Tambo and to find her place in the village. Her vivid observations, recorded in this field journal, admirably follow Henry James's advice: "Try to be one of the people upon whom nothing is lost." With an artist's eye, Meyerson records the daily life of 'Tambo—the cycles of planting and harvest, the round of religious and cultural festivals, her tentative beginnings of friendship and understanding with the Tambinos. The journal charts her progress from tolerated outsider to accepted friend as she and her husband learn and earn, the roles of daughter and son in their adopted family. With its wealth of ethnographic detail, especially concerning the lives of Andean women, 'Tambo will have great value for students of Latin American anthropology. In addition, scholars preparing to do fieldwork anywhere will find it a realistic account of both the hardships and the rewards of such study.
Book Synopsis Woven Stories by : Andrea M. Heckman
Download or read book Woven Stories written by Andrea M. Heckman and published by UNM Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Quechua people of southern Peru are both agriculturalists and herders who maintain large herds of alpacas and llamas. But they are also weavers, and it is through weaving that their cultural traditions are passed down over the generations. Owing to the region's isolation, the textile symbols, forms of clothing, and technical processes remain strongly linked to the people's environment and their ancestors. Heckman's photographs convey the warmth and vitality of the Quechua people and illustrate how the land is intricately woven into their lives and their beliefs. Quechua weavers in the mountainous regions near Cuzco, Peru, produce certain textile forms and designs not found elsewhere in the Andes. Their textiles are a legacy of their Andean ancestors. Andrea Heckman has devoted more than twenty years to documenting and analyzing the ways Andean beliefs persist over time in visual symbols embedded in textiles and portrayed in rituals. Her primary focus is the area around the sacred peak of Ausangate, in southern Peru, some eighty-five miles southeast of the former Inca capital of Cuzco. The core of this book is an ethnographic account of the 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.
