Novedad Editorial!
La relación entre las comunidades andinas y sus deidades, así como las expresiones de esa religiosidad son el objeto de esta extraordinaria investigación a cargo de Renata Mayer y Luis Millones la cual ha sido el resultado de décadas de trabajo etnográfico en varias partes del Perú. El eje central de esta obra gira en torno a la Pacha Mama, deidad venerada por el hatun runa (persona común). El poder de castigar y de regular comportamientos que tiene tanto la Pacha Mama como otras deidades asociadas a ella, la hace hasta el día de hoy una de las deidades más complejas del mundo andino.

New publication!
The relationship between the Andean communities and their deities, as well as the expressions of their religiosity are the focus of this extraordinary study by Renata Mayer and Luis Millones, which has been the product of decades of ethnographic work in several regions of Peru. This book pays particular attention to the Pacha Mama, a deity venerated by the hatun runa (common person) in the Andes. The power to punish and regulate behaviors that both the Pacha Mama and other deities associated with her have, makes her one of the most complex deities in the Andean world to this day.
