| Abstract |
The Aymara live in the Bolivian and Peruvian altiplano, centering around Lake Titicaca. This file consists of 16 documents covering the time period from 1860 through 1980. Tschopik and Buechler present comprehensive surveys of Aymara history and culture. A second work by Tschopik focuses on magical beliefs. LaBarre's writings include a general ethnography and articles covering the classification and use of potatoes, folktales, remedies, and sorcery. Forbes describes the area, material culture, and anthropometry. Chervin incorporates previously unpublished data on living facilities and livelihood from the early 1900s and data on physical anthropology. Metraux presents data concerning the religious practices and beliefs of the Aymara living in the province of Carangas, Bolivia. Bouroncle Carreon was a physician who presents a comprehensive study of the Aymara in the Department of Puno. Carter has written a functional study of cultural differences between the hacienda and the free community system. Other topics included in this file are ceremonies, magic, divination and acculturation, dreams, the soul, death, funeral customs, and eschatology, and a particular process of Aymara market participation in southern Peru, in which peasants travel long distances to produce coffee for sale. |
