As Jorge Coronado reveals, these images offer a powerful counterpoint to the often-slanted, predominant view of \u003ci\u003eindigenismo\u003c\/i\u003e produced by the intellectual elite. \u003cbr\u003e Photography offered an inexpensive and readily available technology for producing portraits and other images that allowed lower- and middle-class racialized subjects to create their own distinct rhetoric and vision of their culture. The powerful identity-marking vehicle that photography provided to the masses has been overlooked in much of Latin American cultural studies--which have focused primarily on the elite's visual arts. Coronado's study offers close readings of Andean photographic archives from the early- to mid-twentieth century, to show the development of a consumer culture and the agency of marginalized groups in creating a visual document of their personal interpretations of modernity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jorge Coronado\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822965003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822965008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/12\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Jorge Coronado","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990406856959,"sku":"9780822965008","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_823f7099-eee0-4c29-9fe9-2e0bc6b7e2cb.jpg?v=1683304495","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/portraits-in-the-andes-jorge-coronado-9780822965008","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
