Editorial Reviews

It is rare that a single volume combines the varied approaches that have tended, in recent years, to proliferate in the ethnographic literature. But this is in part a traditional "hard-core" monograph, rich in descriptive detail on a wide range of aspects of workaday life of the "Canelos Quichua," and it is also, in part, an insightful and incisive structuralist and symbolic analysis.
