Between the Andes and the Amazon: Language and Social Meaning in Bolivia

Más información sobre el libro

Why can't a Quechua speaker wear pants? Anna M. Babel uses this question to open an analysis of language and social structure at the border of eastern and western, highland and lowland Bolivia. Between the Andes and the Amazon opens new ways of thinking about what it means to be a speaker of an indigenous or colonial language--or a mix of both.
