ABSTRACT

AbstractETHNIC REVIVAL IN THE ANDESSEARCHING FOR ANDINIDAD: A HETEROGENEOUS AND DYNAMIC REALITYANDEAN PERCEPTIONS OF POVERTYSTRATEGIES TO ESCAPE POVERTYREFERENCES

Nowadays, the old assumption that indigenous peoples should give up their cultural practices and identities in order to assimilate and 'progress', has been replaced by a more flexible and dynamic perception of indigeneity. This article — based on fieldwork carried out in the southern part of the Bolivian Andes between 1995 and 2004 — offers a micro-level description of what Andinidad, the Andean way of doing things, means for daily life. What are the particularities of Andean lives, what are the implications for livelihoods and social mobility? The central question is whether or not people in the rural Andes have a special way of building their livelihoods and, more specifically, whether and how distinct traditions help people to move out of poverty.
