Description
Earth Beings explores the interconnected worlds of indigenous and nonindigenous cultures through a decade-long conversation with Mariano and Nazario Turpo, two runakuna or Quechua people. This unique approach reveals how indigenous ways of knowing and being intersect with modern practices.
The book challenges traditional notions of politics and hybridity, instead proposing a framework that accepts incommensurability and mutual difference as essential for ethnography to work. By examining the Turpos' indigenous political strategies, de la Cadena reconfigures how we think about and question modern politics.
