5.0 out of 5 stars
A fine pick for college-level art/cultural studies collections,
By D. Donovan, Editor/Sr. Reviewer "California B... (California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Woven Stories: Andean Textiles and Rituals (Hardcover)
WOVEN STORIES: ANDEAN TEXTILES & RITUALS is a specialty item recommended for two very different collections: college-level art libraries, and college-level studies specializing in other cultures. The Quechua people of southern Peru may be farmer but they are also weavers from generations past, and their textiles are imbedded with local symbols and processes with a long past. Quchua weavers work in textile forms and designs not seen elsewhere in the Andes: Heckman provides a powerful ethnographic account of these textiles and their role in Quechua daily life, linking patterns and designs with the larger fabric of Andean society. Color photos of both textiles and peoples pack a cultural and artistic survey unique in its offerings.
