Description: "Unlike religious syncretism, in which cultures become fused, the encounter between indigenous and Western cultures in Bolivia resulted in a juxtaposition of indigenous and Christian cultural elements. This lack of adaptation, argues this philosophical treatise, is the result of the impossibility of substituting the functions of Christianity for those of traditional religion"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
