Description: A study of how Cuzco's indigenous people have transformed the terms "Indian" and "mestizo" from racial categories to social ones, thus creating a de-stigmatized version of Andean heritage.#19;
Review Quotes: "Eloquent, engaging, and highly readable. With its synthetic treatment of ethnographic and historical materials this book makes a welcome and highly innovative contribution to both the specialist field of Andean studies and the general fields of cultural anthropology, Latin American studies, and racial and ethnic studies."--Deborah Poole, New School for Social Research
