Description:
    There exists a rich legacy of research that investigates themes related to languages and sociolinguistic and sociocultural identities in the Andes. This collection of essays written in Spanish adds one more piece to that legacy. The novelty of this contribution arises from the multiplicity of perspectives and theoretical approaches that characterize these essays, which explore diverse aspects of Andean languages, cultures, ideologies and identities. This collection of essays not only encompasses several fields within the humanities and social sciences, but also diverse time periods from colonial times to the present, and includes studies from nearly all the Andean countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela.
    The unifying thread woven through all of the essays is the interrelationship that exists between languages, cultures and ideologies, and the impact that these have on the construction and reconstruction of regional, national, ethnic and gendered identities. In this way, the authors of the various essays approach from a wide range of perspectives the diverse ways in which power dynamics have historically affected the multiple layers of identity found in the Andean region. The results of these interdisciplinary studies have contributed a wealth of new details to the understanding of the relationships that exist among the different forms of knowledge of the world in which we live.
   The book is divided into three sections. The first, "Vigorizando lenguas, vigorizando culturas" focuses on issues of indigenous language planning and revitalization, with one article addressing practical and theoretical issues of technology use in such efforts, and the other articles providing case studies from specific times and places. The second section, "Ideologías e identidades (socio)lingüísticas", examines the numerous ways that individuals or groups express their identities and beliefs through their language choices, both in terms of what language they speak, and the forms of discourse they employ. Finally, the third section, entitled "(De)construcción de identidades socioculturales", shifts the focus from linguistic aspects to the more strictly sociocultural realm. These essays deal with manifestations of indigenous identity from a variety of perspectives, including literary, religious, historical and sartorial.
   This collection of essays is of relevance to anyone interested in linguistic anthropology and indigenous language and identity issues in the Andes: anthropologists, sociolinguists, sociologists, language planners, historians, semioticians, and other scholars of Andean cultural studies. It could also be of interest to researchers in other areas of the world who are looking for novel approaches to apply to their own regions.
