Synopsis

This work is the most outstanding example of the author's talent. It is recognized as the precursor of indigenous studies literature and a major piece in the Peruvian literary movement. The story has philantrhopic ideas and sentimental attitudes towards the indigenous people. Details of mistreatment and the incompetence of officials expose the curruption of politiical and relgious leaders, while not distracting from the narrative arc of the story.

About this title

From the Publisher

Our edition follows the original version in Spanish, but comprises no less than 332 notes, adding more than 270 to the author’s own 58 lexicographic annotations on Quecha and Spanish unusual terms, so necessary to grasp the real power of her prose.

We believe that this annotated edition constitutes an important reading for all students of the indigenous cultures of South America.

If you include Birds without a Nest in your courses syllabus this is an edition worth considering: fully annotated and easily available in the US.
