"This revision of the author's 2003 dissertation is a historical ethnographic vignette of life in 1993-94 in the Quechua-speaking hamlet of Quirpini in Nor Cinti, Chuquisaca. Anthropologist Rockefeller (Columbia) couches his theoretical perspective in his view of movement and places, about ways the folks of Quirpini make the places they live in and live in the places they make. He is particularly interested in the creativity of movement, the ways that Quirpini is created and re-created through action and circulation, and the relationships of movement, place, and power. The author examines the relationships between different places as invented by context, as amalgams of geography, memory, movement, and power, by focusing on the situational context of people's actions and movements in space. The volume will join other ethnographies of Chuquisaca, providing a snapshot of the daily life of local groups at specific times and places. Of particular interest to Andeanists and social scientists wrestling with explication of place. Five pages of glossary and 24 illustrations. Summing Up: Recommended.

Seller is great and responsive. USPS is awful. They gave my package to the wrong address, it was opened and another expected packaged Blu Ray was opened, lost it original mail packaging, and inserted into this order's package, then put infrpn of my door later that day. Thankfully nothing was damaged. Overall great nostalgic X-men comic, and great repsonsive seller. USPS is the only problem here.

I ordered this book May 14th and didn't receive it until May 28th. I waited 5 days to contact the seller after purchase because they hadn't shipped yet. They thanked me for reaching out but still they exceeded the delivery date. I have never had to wait this long for a delivery. Very poor customer service. Booked arrived in good condition despite inadequate packaging. I will not purchase from this seller again.
