In doing so, it illuminates a critical dynamic of globalization that is taking place behind the scenes. By analyzing Aymara economic institutions and networks and their concepts and practices of business management, The Native World-System describes a system in which indigenous sociopolitical structures and religious values and beliefs are interwoven with an advanced economic practice, specialized technological know-how, and global networks.The Native World-System is a volume in the ISSUES OF GLOBALIZATION: CASE STUDIES IN CONTEMPORARY ANTHROPOLOGY series, which examines the experiences of individual communities in our contemporary world. Each volume offers a brief and engaging exploration of a particular issue arising from globalization and its cultural, political, and economic effects on certain peoples or groups.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51665963778336,"sku":"NEW0190255226","price":35.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71uENh1naYL.jpg?v=1778917267","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-native-world-system-an-ethnography-of-bolivian-aymara-traders-in-the-global-economy-issues-of-globalizationcase-studies-in-contemporary-anthropology-0190255226","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
