Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Bibliography of the Anthropology of Peru What was begun in 1893 as a labor of love, has been brought to a finish amid difficulties and the stress of work attendant upon new fields of investigation. While pursuing a special course of study in the Graduate Depart ment of Harvard University, in 1893 - 94, I began to form a card cat alogue of the more important books which treat of the antiquities of Peru. This was done merely for my own benefit and to aid me in the particular line of investigation with which at that time I was occupied. Such a catalogue seemed all the more necessary to me, as I could find no list of books of any value which related to Peru, and my studies led me into all the many interesting problems for which that country is so justly famous.

This book was released on 2017-12-04 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Results of Recent Anthropological Exploration in Peru: With Four Plates Even ethnic units of such importance as the Ouechua and Aymara are so little known physically that from the literature the subject alone it would be impossible to form a clear notion as to their main characteristics. The dearth of knowledge concerning the cosmetology of the peoples of Peru is due, on the one hand, to an almost complete lack of anthropological observations on the living, and, on the other hand, to the nature of the skeletal material which has thus far been collected. Not that the material is wanting, for there are many hundreds of Peruvian skulls scattered in our collections; but a very large majority of these skulls are more or less deformed, either artificially or accidentally, which renders them unsuitable for anthropological determinations, and other parts of the skeleton have been neglected. As to the skulls, there is no equally extensive territory in the world where cranial deformations, both intentional and unintentional, are as numerous as in Peru. Skulls of normal form from that country have actually thus far been rarities. The accessions of Bolivian and Peruvian skeletal material in the principal American museums during the past few years have begun to shed more light on the physical characteristics of at least the Aymara and on a portion of the middle coast population of Peru. In consequence, it may he said to-day with comparative certainty that these two groups differ radically, at least so far as the cranial type is concerned; one (the Aymara) representing dolichocephalic, the other (middle coast) brachycephalic stock. Furthermore, we know to-day (due principally to Bandelier's collections) that the Aymara were in the main a people of relatively small stature, of only moderate muscular development, and often of rather small cranial capacity. The coast people from Ancon, Pachacamac, and one or two other localities, were also of rather low stature, but of somewhat stronger build, and had seemingly 011 the average a perceptibly larger skull. In both groups there was a relatively frequent occurrence of decidedly short and small-headed individuals. Beyond these few facts, however, things were problematical.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Indian Tribes of Eastern Peru Minister of Finance, Senor Leguia, now President of the Republic, and were the recipients of many courtesies and hospitalities from both Americans and Peruvians. From Lima we continued to Are quipa, where is situated the Harvard Observatory, which city became our base during the time we were in Peru. A short period was devoted to preparation for the actual field work and to short side trips to La Paz and other nearby places. Little could be learned of conditions in the interior beyond the mountains, and so the first journey was somewhat in the nature of a preliminary in vestigation of the field.

Download or read book Making Machu Picchu written by Mark Rice and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2018-08-17 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Speaking at a 1913 National Geographic Society gala, Hiram Bingham III, the American explorer celebrated for finding the "lost city" of the Andes two years earlier, suggested that Machu Picchu "is an awful name, but it is well worth remembering." Millions of travelers have since followed Bingham's advice. When Bingham first encountered Machu Picchu, the site was an obscure ruin. Now designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Machu Picchu is the focus of Peru's tourism economy. Mark Rice's history of Machu Picchu in the twentieth century—from its "discovery" to today's travel boom—reveals how Machu Picchu was transformed into both a global travel destination and a powerful symbol of the Peruvian nation. Rice shows how the growth of tourism at Machu Picchu swayed Peruvian leaders to celebrate Andean culture as compatible with their vision of a modernizing nation. Encompassing debates about nationalism, Indigenous peoples' experiences, and cultural policy—as well as development and globalization—the book explores the contradictions and ironies of Machu Picchu's transformation. On a broader level, it calls attention to the importance of tourism in the creation of national identity in Peru and Latin America as a whole.

Download or read book Vicos and Beyond written by Thomas C. Greaves and published by Altamira Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Vicos Project, conducted in Peru by Allan Holmberg and Carlos Monge between 1952 and 1962, was, in its time, the most influential contribution to applied anthropology in the Andean countries as well as within the developing world. The project provoked strong controversy not only as it was being done but also in later years and still today. Despite the enormous quantity of professional writing and criticism about the project, key information about the project remained unavailable until now. Vicos and Beyond assembles firsthand accounts from leaders of the project together with critiques from various authors and viewpoints, and then adds comparative descriptions of later and current projects in Peru, including information from the people of Vicos today. The authors of the chapters enable the reader to understand, assess, compare, and judge the remarkable role these initiatives have played in the development of applied anthropology. Book jacket.
