"This is a remarkable book about textiles and their meaning to the lives of their makers.Dr. Andrea Heckman brings to these pages an unusual level of experience, acquired from decades of travel in the Andes. More important, she has shared the lives of villagers and, as an accomplished weaver herself, has used her art and its craft as a means to surmount the distance that usually persists between even the most sensitive anthropological scholars and the subjects of their observation. --------- Garth Bawden, Director, Maxwell Museum of Anthropology, University of New Mexico"..
