Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Andean Waterways lends itself as a good text for use in teaching. The book is illustrated with stunning black-and-white photographs, which evocatively capture the landscapes that Rasmussen writes about. . . . The book is a valuable addition to the literature on resource politics in the Andes, and likely to be of particular interest to scholars working and teaching on this region."
-- Jessica Barnes * Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute *
"A significant contribution to the anthropology of water in the Andes. . . . This is an indispensable book if one wishes to understand the contemporary politics of water in the Andes of Peru."
-- Patricia Urteaga-Crovetto * American Anthropologist *
