The authors examine a range of indigenous temporal experiences and ideologies, including astronomical, cyclical, generational, eschatological, and mythical time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis nuanced, interdisciplinary volume challenges outmoded anthropological theories while building on an emic perspective to gain greater understanding of pre-Columbian Andean cultures. Contributors to the volume rethink the dichotomy of past and present by understanding history as indigenous Andeans perceived it--recognizing the past as a palpable and living presence. We live in history, not apart from it. Within this framework time can be understood as a current rather than as distinct points, moments, periods, or horizons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Andes offer a rich context by which to evaluate recent philosophical explorations of space and time. Using the varied materializations and ritual emplacements of time in a diverse sampling of landscapes, \u003ci\u003eConstructions of Time and History in the Pre-Columbian Andes\u003c\/i\u003e serves as a critique of archaeology's continued and exclusive dependence on linear chronologies that obscure historically specific temporal practices and beliefs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eContributors\u003c\/i\u003e: Tamara L.
