Concerned with Andean cosmology both as the manifestation of a system ofbelief and as a way of thinking or worldview that orders the social environment, this volume advances an explanation of why Andean indigenous communities are stillrecognizably Andean after a half-millennium of forced exposure to Western systems ofthought and belief. Dealing with cultural authenticity in an Andean context, theessays describe a process facilitated by a cosmology which readily integrates theaccoutrements of non-Andean community. At issue is not so much what is authenticbut, rather, how it is perceived to be authentic and how it is so maintained. Thenine authors explore a model in which a consistent and persistent cosmologicaldiscourse leads, not to an emergent social order, but to a social order whichcontinually emerges as a peculiarly Andean phenomenon.
