Themes and Variations from Prehistory to the Present (Joe R. and Teresa Lozano Long Series in Latin American and Latino Art and Culture)

Hardcover, 368 Pages, Published 2012 by University Of Texas Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-292-73571-2, ISBN: 0-292-73571-5

ISBN-13: 978-1-4773-1459-3, ISBN: 1-4773-1459-8

"Arequipa, Peru's second largest city, has the most intense regional culture in the central Andes. Arequipeños fiercely conceive of themselves as exceptional and distinctive, yet also broadly representative of the nation's overall hybrid nature—a blending of coast (modern, "white") and sierra (traditional, "indigenous"). The Independent Republic of Arequipa investigates why and how this regional identity developed in a boom of cultural p ..."
