This struggle continues today, both in schools and within the larger culture. The Metamorphosis of Heads explores the history and cultural significance of Andean textile writings--weavings and kipus (knotted cords), and their extreme contrasts in form and production from European alphabet-based texts. Denise Arnold examines the subjugation of native texts in favor of European ones through the imposition of homogenized curricula by the Educational ReformIlluminations (Pittsburgh, Pa.)Indians of South AmericaEducationBoliviaAymara IndiansEducationIndians of South AmericaAndes RegionLanguagesWritingQuipuInca textile fabricsIndian literatureCriticism, TextualTransmission of textsAndes RegionLiteracyBoliviaPeruHistoryConquest, 1522-1548SpainColoniesAmericaAdministrationIndians of South AmericaEducationAymara IndiansEducation.Indians of South AmericaLanguagesWriting.Quipu.Inca textile fabrics.Indian literatureCriticism, Textual.Transmission of textsLiteracy302.2/24408998324Arnold Denise Y.1554362Yapita Juan de DiosMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910789382903321The metamorphosis of heads3851498UNINA
