Weaving the Past offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary history of Latin America's indigenous women. Drawing on primary and secondary sources, it argues that change, not continuity, has been the norm for indigenous peoples whose resilience in the face of complex and long-term patterns of cultural change is due in no small part to the roles, actions, and agency of women.
