Juan Javier Rivera Andía, Ethnographica, 2016 

Libro 14,5×21,5 cms. 192 páginas.

 

 

"This admirable book is the mature fruit of a researcher who has been forming and forging in those itineraries of fieldwork and writing of which he gives an account in the introduction: between fields and cities, between America and Europe, between the Andes and the foothills of the Sierra Madrileña, between universities and centers of different languages. A world within another world, a local reality within the global reality, that is what the anthropologist presents, often with affection, at this crossroads of personal or collective itineraries back and forth. While, in the background, seem to resonate the notes, lyrics and voices of some very little known songs: the oral corpus of generally forgotten communities. The book leads us through the theoretical twists and turns of a known reality and presented with infinite care and dedication, and a refined unconventional literary style."
