Vol. 24 No. 39 (1992): The War in the Andes

January to June 1992.

Returning to the subject of academic debates, this issue addresses a fundamental problem on which there are still very few studies: the peasantry and political violence in the Andes. The present debate was provoked by a controversial article written by the North American anthropologist Orin Starn, on the neglect of anthropology in the face of the Senderista phenomenon; the same that will be commented and criticized by specialists such as Frank Salomon, Mark Thurner, Deborah Poole and Gerardo Renique.
