This edited volume brings together several scholars who produced outstanding ethnographies of Andean communities between the 1970s and 2000s and asks them to revisit, review, and reassess their original works in the light of contemporary anthropology, focusing on different academic and personal aspects of their ethnographies. This book also offers a review of the evolution and role of community ethnographies in the context of Andean anthropology, and in doing so, aims to reflect on these changes and on their contribution to the study of Andean culture.
