Dealing with cultural authenticity in an Andean context, the essays describe a process facilitated by a cosmology which readily integrates the accoutrements of non-Andean community. At issue is not so much what is authentic but, rather, how it is perceived to be authentic and how it is so maintained. The nine authors explore a model in which a consistent and persistent cosmological discourse leads, not to an emergent social order, but to a social order which continually emerges as a peculiarly Andean phenomenon.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51707473068320,"sku":"NEW0253216680","price":28.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61EUJ67Bm2L.jpg?v=1779393306","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/andean-cosmologies-through-time-persistence-and-emergence-caribbean-and-latin-american-studies-0253216680","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
