The Articulated Peasant: Household Economies In The Andes 1st Edition by Enrique Mayer (PDF)

Description

Based on Enrique Mayer’s 30 years of research in Peru, this collection of new and revised essays presents in one accessible volume Mayer’s most significant statements on Andean peasant economies from pre-colonial times to the present. The Articulated Peasant is therefore noteworthy as a sustained examination of household economies through changing historical circumstances, while considering also the relationship of the environment to systems of land use, agricultural production, and economic exchange among ecological zones. Though the volume stresses the Andean context, its relevancy is wider. It will resonate with those who are struggling with issues of survival and development in Latin America or elsewhere where units of production and consumption are largely household based. This book is well suited for courses in Andean studies, economic anthropology, human ecology, peasants, and development.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Si bien el texto original es valiosísimo, el libro llegó con error de imprenta y encuadernación. Solo venía la tapa y la introducción correcta. El resto de los capítulos correspondía a otro libro (sobre nacionalismo). El vendedor no ofreció una solución satisfactoria. Debía enviar a mi costa el producto hasta USA. Fue una compra desperdiciada.Eight months of the year I live in Andes, in small farming community, three hours from Cusco, Peru. I sought-out this text to enrich my historical and ethnographical understanding of Peru, but after plowing through professor Mayer’s erudite monograph on Andean peasant economies I came away with little practical knowledge that would help better understand the campesinas in my community.That is not to say that Professor Mayer work is not valuable. The text provides a quantitative and empirical study of Andean households as economic agents, and for social science theorists, those in academia and upper division students of Andean studies `The Articulated Peasant’ will be essential reading. There is a short Spanish/Quechua glossary, a good index and ample biography.

⭐After reading countless amounts of history and background on certain issues in the Andes, I foudn this book to include new information and different views on highly debated issues. Very insightful and informative. A good anthro book!
