Summary:

"This book analyzes how inter-Indigenous linguistic and social difference in Puno, Peru has been maintained and negotiated over time. Central to these processes are Indigenous women, and how their linguistic and social practices, as well as the ways that they are discursively interpreted and idealized, affect the maintenance of Indigenous linguistic and social differences in the past, while shaping new ideologies and understandings of Indigenous linguistic praxis and Indigenous ethnic differences"-- Provided by publisher.
