Description

Weaving the Past offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary history of Latin The usa’s indigenous women. Even as the book concentrates on native women in Mesoamerica and the Andes, it covers indigenous people in other parts of South and Central The usa, including lowland peoples in and beyond Brazil, and Afro-indigenous peoples, such as the Garifuna, of Central The usa. Drawing on Number one and secondary sources, it argues that change, not continuity, has been the norm for indigenous peoples whose resilience within the face of complex and long-term patterns of cultural change is due in no small part to the roles, actions, and agency of women. The book provides broad coverage of gender roles in native Latin The usa over many centuries, drawing upon a range of evidence from archaeology, anthropology, religion, and politics. Number one and secondary sources include chronicles, codices, newspaper articles, and monographic work on specific regions. Arguing that Latin The usa’s indigenous women were the vital force in the back of the more essential events and processes of Latin The usa’s history, Kellogg interweaves the region’s history of circle of relatives, sexual, and labor history with the origins of women’s power in prehispanic, colonial, and up to date South and Central The usa. Shying away from interpretations that treat women as house bound and passive, the book as a substitute emphasizes women’s long history of performing labor, being politically active, and contributing to, even supporting, circle of relatives and community well-being.
