Un tradizionale viaggio in Perù che, grazie all'incontro con Bianca, una giovane antropologa di Arequipa, si trasforma in un viaggio attraverso le tradizioni, le cerimonie e i rituali meno conosciuti - e talvolta persino proibiti allo straniero - delle popolazioni andine e del popolo quechua. Feste di paese, danze, cerimonie, matrimoni e solenni rituali sciamanici si susseguono lungo il percorso che da Lima, Nazca, Arequipa, Moquegua arriva fino agli altipiani del lago Titicaca e termina sulla dorsale della cordigliera delle Ande. Un viaggio affascinante (oltre che un vero e proprio rito di iniziazione) alla scoperta delle tradizioni e delle pratiche magiche di un popolo dalla cultura millenaria, sopravvissuta alla furia devastatrice dei conquistadores e tramandata fino ai giorni nostri dai rituali misteriosi dei curanderos, gli sciamani-guaritori della tradizione ancestrale.

\"The small shall be large . . . that's how it must be.\"\n\nIn the Andean foothills, a five-year-old Quechua girl is entrusted with a big job: to collect a marrow bone from the neighbor for the family soup. A stunning debut from Indigenous author Suniyay Moreno.\n\nPicu's family is very poor. In the dry Andean foothills, her mother must feed fourteen people-her kids, her relatives' kids, and the hired hand's kids-every day. One morning, Picu, the youngest sister, is sent to get a marrow bone from a neighbor. The bone will add flavor and nutrition to the lunchtime soup. Her mother warns her not to dawdle on the two-hour walk, each way, through the wild landscape.\n\nBut Picu can't help it! She marvels at the butterflies, samples the cactus fruit, and daydreams about using the marrow bone as a football. Will the neighbor let her family keep the bone after the soup is made? Will her mother let her play with it? And will she be punished for being so late?\n\nPicu is a child of joie de vivre and resourcefulness. This story, like Picu herself, is tough, hard, and honest. And moving. And fun. \n\nThe Youngest Sister features a glossary of Quechuan terms that are used throughout the story.\n\nAn Aldana Libros Book, Greystone Kids

In questo primo libro Anton Ponce de Leon ci parla delle conoscenze a lui trasmesse durante sette giorni di convivenza iniziatica con il Maestro quechua Nina Soncco, guida spirituale della Hermandad Solar, scuola mistica andina. Chi è l'uomo, che cosa è la vita, che cosa ci si aspetta da essa, ecco le domande alle quali l'uomo deve dare una risposta per capire il senso del suo passaggio sulla Terra: tutti abbiamo una missione, è importante ricordare quale. L'iniziazione non è un rito o una formula, bensì uno stato di coscienza, e ha la sua realizzazione attraverso il servizio, che è uno degli atti fondamentali che unisce coloro che si preoccupano del futuro dell'Umanità. In una maniera estremamente semplice, ma con una forza portentosa, il Maestro svela all'autore i misteri sull'origine dell'uomo e quali sono i Principi che ne regolano l'evoluzione.

“Essi conservarono un resoconto della loro storia, ma poi lo bruciarono.” Quechua. Nella Terra ormai quasi disabitata, un’astronave lascia un cilindro che racconta “l’unica storia rimasta” in parte celata in alcuni simboli nascosti nel sito archeologico della civiltà di Tiahuanaco in Bolivia (200 – 600 d.C.). Molti anni prima, la spedizione Pro.Me.Te.O. formata da un gruppo di giovani delle colonie terrestri extra mondo, avrebbe dovuto ritrovare la “memoria perduta” della Terra; la ricerca si rivelò piena d’insidie perché ciò che avevano scoperto era una parte di un diabolico complotto ordito da una organizzazione segreta che cambiò le sorti dell’umanità e che, a ogni costo, non doveva essere rivelato.

At the dawn of the twentieth century, while Lima's aristocrats hotly debated the future of a nation filled with \"Indians,\" thousands of Aymara and Quechua Indians left the pews of the Catholic Church and were baptized into Seventh-day Adventism. One of the most staggering Christian phenomena of our time, the mass conversion from Catholicism to various forms of Protestantism in Latin America was so successful that Catholic contemporaries became extremely anxious on noticing that parts of the Indigenous population in the Andean plateau had joined a Protestant church.\n\n In Sacrifice and Regeneration Yael Mabat focuses on the extraordinary success of Seventh-day Adventism in the Andean highlands at the beginning of the twentieth century and sheds light on the historical trajectories of Protestantism in Latin America. By approaching the religious conversion among Indigenous populations in the Andes as a multifaceted and dynamic interaction between converts, missionaries, and their social settings and networks, Mabat demonstrates how the religious and spiritual needs of converts also brought salvation to the missionaries. Conversion had important ramifications on the way social, political, and economic institutions on the local and national level functioned. At the same time, socioeconomic currents had both short-term and long-term impacts on idiosyncratic religious practices and beliefs that both accelerated and impeded religious change. Mabat's innovative historical perspective on religious transformation allows us to better comprehend the complex and often contradictory way in which Protestantism took shape in Latin America.

Quinoa’s new status as a superfood has altered the economic fortunes of Quechua farmers in the Andean highlands. Linda J. Seligmann journeys to the Huanoquite region of Peru to track the mixed blessings brought about by the surging worldwide popularity of this “exquisite grain.” Focusing on how Indigenous communities have confronted globalization, Seligmann examines the influence of food politics, development initiatives, and the region’s agrarian history on present-day quinoa production among Huanoquiteños. She also looks at the human stories behind these transformations, from the work of quinoa brokers to the ways Huanoquite’s men and women navigate the shifts in place and power occurring in their homes and communities. Finally, Seligmann considers how the consequences of nearby mining may impact Huanoquiteños’ ability to farm quinoa and thrive in their environment, and the efforts they are taking to resist these threats to their way of life. The untold story behind the popular health food, Quinoa illuminates how Indigenous communities have engaged with the politics and policies surrounding their production of a traditional and minor crop that became a global foodstuff.

Kawsay Vida is a course book and interactive multimedia program for the teaching and learning of the Quechua language from beginner to advanced levels. The course book is based on contemporary Bolivian Quechua, while the multimedia program contains a section on Bolivian Quechua (beginner to intermediate levels) and a section on southern Peruvian Quechua (advanced level). The book provides a practical introduction to spoken Quechua through the medium of English, while the multimedia program offers a choice of English or Spanish as the medium of instruction. The video clips introduce us to Quechua speakers in the valleys of Northern Potosi (Bolivia) and Cuzco (Peru), giving a sense of immediacy that the printed page cannot achieve, and highlighting the social and cultural settings in which the language is spoken. The multimedia program is available for both PC and Macintosh platforms.\n\n The book contains twenty-two units of study. As students work through these, cross-references take them to relevant sections of the multimedia program. The Bolivian and Peruvian Quechua sections of the multimedia program are divided into thematically and grammatically ordered modules, which introduce users to different aspects of Andean life, while progressing language learning in a structured way. Users engage with the audio, video, and visual material contained in the program through a range of interactive exercises, which reinforce listening and comprehension skills. Once familiarity with the language is acquired, the multimedia program may be used independently from the book.
