The Ecuador Reader: History, Culture, Politics (The Latin America Readers),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Encompassing Amazonian rainforests, Andean peaks, coastal lowlands, and the Galpagos Islands, Ecuadors geography is notably diverse. So too are its history, culture, and politics, all of which are examined from many perspectives in The Ecuador Reader. Spanning the years before the arrival of the Spanish in the early 1500s to the present, this rich anthology addresses colonialism, independence, the nations integration into the world economy, and its tumultuous twentieth century. Interspersed among fortyeight written selections are more than three dozen images.The voices and creations of Ecuadorian politicians, writers, artists, scholars, activists, and journalists fill the Reader, from Jos Mara Velasco Ibarra, the nations ultimate populist and fivetime president, to Pancho Jaime, a political satirist; from Julio Jaramillo, a popular twentiethcentury singer, to anonymous indigenous women artists who produced ceramics in the 1500s; and from the poems of AfroEcuadorians, to the fiction of the vanguardist Pablo Palacio, to a recipe for traditional Quiteostyle shrimp. The Reader includes an interview with Nina Pacari, the first indigenous woman elected to Ecuadors national assembly, and a reflection on how to balance tourism with the protection of the Galpagos Islands magnificent ecosystem. Complementing selections by Ecuadorians, many never published in English, are samples of some of the best writing on Ecuador by outsiders, including an account of how an indigenous group with nonInca origins came to see themselves as definitively Incan, an exploration of the fascination with the Andes from the 1700s to the present, chronicles of the lessthanexemplary behavior of U.S. corporations in Ecuador, an examination of Ecuadorians overseas migration, and a look at the controversy surrounding the selection of the first black Miss Ecuador.
