This comprehensive reference offers an authoritative overview of Andean lifeways. It provides valuable historical context, and demonstrates the relevance of learning about the Andes in light of contemporary events and debates. The volume covers the ecology and pre-Columbian history of the region, and addresses key themes such as cosmology, aesthetics, gender and household relations, modes of economic production, exchange, and consumption, postcolonial legacies, identities, political organization and movements, and transnational interconnections. With over 40 essays by expert contributors that highlight the breadth and depth of Andean worlds, this is an essential resource for students and scholars alike.

Industry Reviews

"Compiled by two leading authorities on Andean societies and cultures, The Andean World provides a uniquely accessible yet comprehensive overview of the many different experiences, voices, movements, and histories that have shaped life in the Andean highlands of Peru, Ecuador, and Bolivia. Together the volume's 42 lively chapters give the reader a rich, multidisciplinary introduction to the region."
- Deborah Poole, Johns Hopkins University, USA

"This carefully edited work is different from others on the Andes. Combining chronological and thematic analyses, its coverage includes previously undertreated topics. Contributions from both experienced and emerging scholars, from a wide variety of disciplines, are combined to positive effect."
- Karoline Noack, University of Bonn, Germany
