The Cord Keepers: Khipus and Cultural Life in a Peruvian Village (Latin America Otherwise)
“The Cord Keepersis a brilliant and pathbreaking book. It forces us to reconceptualize what writing is or can be, what it encodes, and whether we should even think of writing as something that records, rather than as a performative practice that engages more actively with the world.”—Joanne Rappaport, author ofThe Politics of Memory: Native Historical Interpretation in the Colombian Andes
