On the Cover

This Andean scene is a temporal ethnography. The wall is typical Inca; the balcony is Spanish colonial, and the Coca Cola sign is modernity. Thus, the physical setting, as material culture, speaks of Inca rule, the Spanish conquest, and, shall we say, late Imperial America. The man in the doorway is in traditional Andean dress that dates to the sixteenth century and before; and then there is the man of the left, who is also a native Andean person, but now in modern Western garb--complete with briefcase.
