In this daring and intellectually expansive text, part memoir and part political philosophy, the anthropologist Rafael S?nchez explores the forces and events that shaped him and the nations through which he moved. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eReconocimientos \u003c\/i\u003eis a book of both personal and political reckoning, from the thrillingly emancipatory possibilities of Venezuela's plazas to the political promise and disappointments of revolution. Written in the final year of his life, \u003ci\u003eReconocimientos \u003c\/i\u003emoves from scenes of S?nchez's youth in Cuba to fieldwork on the cult of Maria Lionza in Venezuela to confront the terrifying and alluring forces of patriarchal privilege at the base of monumentalist authoritarianism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eS?nchez's intimate prose speaks with the urgency both of his own mortality and of the political crises of our moment.
