The Indigenous Public Voice: The Multiple Idioms of Modernity in Native Cauca
Anthropology and Development: Evil Twin or Moral Narrative
The academy has chosen to categorize development anthropology as the discipline's evil twin, since the livelihoods of those in the academy depend upon the intensive study of those whom development anthropology would change forever. But development anthropology can also be viewed as a project that provides a moral narrative, based on ethical concerns, that justifies involvement in the fate of others. These concerns are examined through four lenses…

Poverty and natural resources: Principles for environmental management and sustainable development
Collaboration in Development Consulting: Stooges, Hired Guns, or Musketeers
Consulting in Third World development involves the provision of technical assistance in both the short and long term in order to solve specific problems. In this article, the author takes a serious, semi-objective look at the nature of development consulting, the nature of collaboration and what it can achieve, and proposes some commonsense ways by which the present process can be improved. Based on case study material from Panama, Peru, and Zair…

The notorious nine: Critical problems in project implementation
The Provision of Technical Assistance: A View from the Trenches
An increasingly important component of development aid to the Third World has taken the form of technical assistance; that is, the provision of expatriate expertise to help with the implementation of development programs at national, regional, or local levels. Unfortunately, there has been little interest in the potential contribution that such implementers could make to either the policy making process or the development literature. This article…

Beyond the rhetoric of rural development participation: How can it be done
Technical Assistance Alternatives for Rural Development: Beyond the Bypass Model
Development programs are often influenced by two myths about how development occurs. The first myth, the “technical fix,” posits underdevelopment as a technical problem to be solved by experts with blueprints. The second myth, the “noble peasant,” sees underdevelopment as a social problem to be solved by villagers unhindered by technicians or bureaucrats. Both myths have encouraged the use of strategies which bypass local institutions, employ tec…

La Alpaca en el Mito y el Ritual
Cualquiera que haya vivido durante algún tiempo en las partes altas de los Andes, donde las alpacas son parte importante de la economía campesina, poco a poco se da cuenta que ellas también juegan un papel importante en varios mitos y rituales. Eso no causa sorpresa cuando se recuerda que las influencias externas, especialmente las del campo tecnológico son muy ligeras. La gente vive todavía allí, en contacto muy estrecho con la naturaleza, en la…
Taytacha Qoyllur Rit'i. Rocas y bailarines, creencias y continuidad
Hasta hace poco las investigaciones antropológicas e históricas en el Perú recogían el punto de vista del vencedor, del conquistado español o del mestizo de la época republicana. En estos últimos años la perspectiva cambió radicalmente y se dio énfasis a la llamada visión de los vencidos, punto de vista del conquistado o de los campesinados
El Impacto de la Reforma Agraria sobre el sistema de cargos
En este artículo nos proponemos examinar los cambios que sufre una de las instituciones tradicionales de las Regiones Andinas, el sistema de cargos, con la aplicación de la Reforma Agraria. Un estudio de este tipo no presenta un interés solamente teórico sino empírico porque el actual Gobierno del Perú está provocando un cambio en las partes rurales del país con la aplicación de la Ley de la Reforma Agraria y la instauración de cooperativas de pr…
