Their starting point is that development itself is the problem because its epistemologies and practices are alien to the indigenous peasantry. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInstead, they believe that the native cultural and agricultural systems in the Andes are very much alive, environmentally respectful, and embody a viable, even if totally different, mode of being and understanding from the industrial West. The contributors to this volume, all of them Peruvians, present different facets of this Andean worldview which, while able to absorb elements from other cultures, exists on its own terms and within its own ongoing cosmology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frederique Apffel-Marglin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1856495485\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781856495486\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Zed Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.52h x 5.54w x 0.63d","brand":"Frederique Apffel-Marglin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48800587546879,"sku":"9781856495486","price":48.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-spirit-of-regeneration-frederique-apffel-marglin-9781856495486","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
