Description

Explore the history and social structure of the southern Andes with The People Of The Colca Valley: A Population Study. Published by Routledge, this ethnohistory provides a deep look into a region that remained largely isolated from the outside world until the 1970s. Through decades of research, authors Noble David Cook and Alexandra Parma Cook examine the connection between the valley's geography, including its deep canyon and terraced hillsides, and the people who live there. This study is built on years of direct engagement starting in 1974. It utilizes unusually rich surviving documents to reconstruct the history of the Colca Valley, from its colonial churches to its modern development following the construction of the road to Arequipa. This book is a valuable resource for those interested in anthropology, sociology, and the historical evolution of Andean populations.
