The core of this book is an ethnographic account of Andean textiles and their place in daily life that considers how the form and content of Quechua patterns and designs pass stories down and preserve traditions as well as how the ritual use of textiles sustain a sense of community and a connection to the past. Heckman concludes by assessing the influences of the global economy on indigenous Quechua, who maintain their own worldview within the larger fabric of twentieth-century cultural values and hence have survived everything from Latin American militarism to a tidal wave of post-modern change.

"This is a remarkable book about textiles and their meaning to the lives of their makers.Dr. Andrea Heckman brings to these pages an unusual level of experience, acquired from decades of travel in the Andes. More important, she has shared the lives of villagers and, as an accomplished weaver herself, has used her art and its craft as a means to surmount the distance that usually persists between even the most sensitive anthropological scholars and the subjects of their observation. --------- Garth Bawden, Director, Maxwell Museum of Anthropology, University of New Mexico".
