Graciela: One Woman's Story of War, Survival, and Perseverance in the Peruvian Andes
Constance R. Sutton (1926–2018)
Connie Sutton, 2007. (Courtesy of Sutton-Lauria family) A pioneering scholar of Afro-Caribbean activism and migration and feminist anthropology, Constance Rita Sutton (“Connie,” as she was known to most) died on August 23, 2018. Her anthropology joined the production of knowledge to political action, a process she recognized as necessitating collaboration as much as, if not more than, individual effort and creativity. Her insights into the power …
Priming Ethnography: The Theoretical and Largely Unconscious Guides Structuring More Than Half a Century of Andean Research
Anthropologists have long been aware that theoretical perspectives guide ethnographic research and scholarly production. More recently the reflexive turn in ethnography laid bare the importance of the ethnographer’s social position and unequal power relations. This paper focuses on these and other semiconscious forces, as well as contingent events, that prime ethnographers to focus on some things but not others. Prior graduate training and an era…

Retiring into the Future and the Present
Irrigation Systems
Two proposals—one by Karl Wittfogel (that hydraulic agriculture in arid environments engendered Chinese “oriental despotism” and therefore Marx's “Asiatic mode of production”) and another by Julian Steward (that irrigation led to the independent evolution of primal imperial states in Egypt, Mesopotamia, the Indus Valley, China, Mesoamerica, and Peru)—stimulated considerable anthropological research in the 1970s and 1980s into what came to be call…

Canal Irrigation and Local Social Organization [and Comments and Reply]
Theory linking labor inputs of irrigation agriculture to social organization is briefly reviewed. Labor input is distinguished into five tasks: construction, maintenance, allocation, conflict resolution, and organization of ritual. A sample of world communities is canvassed in search of structural variation. A rationale for studying these phenomena in a local, rather than a society-wide, context is presented. Types of ties of the locality with th…
Irrigation and Community in the Central Peruvian Highlands
Irrigation in Quinua is an adaptation of high altitude agriculture, and its regulation and celebration are significant aspects of the political and ritual life of the community. Comparative data suggest that similar relationships are widespread in Peru. The information from Quinua is used to illuminate the water needs of Huari, an important archaeological site located in the community. The significance of the data for the hydraulic hypothesis of …
