Heckman-O'Neil, Andrea M.

Woven stories: Andean textiles and rituals. - Albuquerque - US University of Mew México Press 2003 - 199 p. ilus.

Contiene: The quechua people of southern Peru are both agriculturalists and herders who maintain large herds of alpacas and llamas. But they are also weavers, and it is through weaving that their cultural traditions are passer down over the generations. Owing to the region's isolation, the textile symbols, forms of clothing, and technical processes remain strongly linked to the people's environment and their ancestors.Heckman'a photographs convery the warmth and vitality of the quechua people and illustrate how the land is intricately woven into their lives and their beliefs.
