Performing Kinship
In the region of Sullk'ata, located in the Bolivian Andes, habitual activities such as sharing food, work, and stories create a sense of relatedness among people. This work is an analysis of the stories, conversations, gossip, public speeches, and other narratives that shape community and identity among peasant women of the Bolivian highlands.
