        UMA AND THE WATER OF THE SEA

        Story based in an ancient Aymara ritual

        by Colomba Elton

        Uma is an Aymara girl who lives in the high Andean zone and dreams of seeing the sea. This becomes a reality thanks to the imperative need of her community: to obtain sea water for a ritual that allows the rains to return to her village. This story allows us to understand how some people from South America, whose ancestors occupied the territory long before the current borders were established, live. It shows how some communities have a close relationship with their geography and the cycles of nature, and thank through offerings to the Pachamama or Mother Earth. This helps us to remember that we all depend on nature, but we have moved away from it. The story also speaks to us of austerity, of a simple life, in the midst of an era of extreme consumerism; a simple life, but, precisely because of this, valuable and full of meaning.

        Un mundo ch'ixi es posible

        Ensayos desde un presente en crisis

        by Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui

        “Lo ch’ixi apareció en mi horizonte cognitivo cuando todavía no sabia nombrar aquello que había descubierto a través de mis esfuerzos de reflexión y de práctica, cuando decía ‘esa mezcla rara que somos’. Aprendí la palabra ch’ixi de boca del escultor aymara Víctor Zapana, que me explicaba qué animales salen de esas piedras y por qué ellos son animales poderosos. Me dijo enconces ‘ch’ixinakax utxiwa’, es decir, existen, enfáticamente, las entidades ch’ixi, que son poderosas porque son indeterminadas, porque no son blancas ni negras, son las dos cosas a la vez. La serpiente es de arriba y a la vez de abajo; es masculina y femenina; no pertenece ni al cielo ni a la tierra pero habita ambos espacios, como lluvia o como río subterráneo, como rayo o como veta de la mina. Sobre las premisas de una brújula ética y la igualdad de inteligencias y poderes cognitivos –ciertamente expresables en una diversidad de lenguas y epistemes- podrá tejerse quizás una epistemología ch’ixi de carácter planetario que nos habilitará en nuestras tareas comunes como especie humana, pero a la vez nos enraizará aún más en nuestras comunidades y territorios locales”.

        Our Heroines: Juana Azurduy, María Remedios del Valle and Macacha Guemes

        by Walter Carzon, Laura Bonavita

        Descendant of an African family, María Remedios del Valle always fought for independence. Juana Azurduy learned from a very young age to ride a horse and her mother, who descended from a native town, taught her to speak Quechua and Aymara. Macacha Güemes was brave and intelligent, since she played with her brother Martín Miguel in Salta. In this book, we bring together the most important events in the lives of the women protagonists of our story, designed for young readers and accompanied by illustrations of the most relevant episodes.

        Cuando Sara Chura despierte (When Sara Chura wakes up)

        by Juan Pablo Piñeiro

        "The resplendent characters in this novel belong to the seamless fabric of the city of La Paz because they inhabit it, adhering to untranslatable rituals. And if that were not enough to illuminate their mythology, they dream of Sara Chura and aspire to awaken her during the Grand Power Parade. A memorable female archetype carved in orphic chambers and in squares that reverberate with celebration. And all of this with the authority born of humor. And the persuasive breath of a language that proposes its own narrative mold." — Jesús Urzagasti

        Kirki qhañi

        Petaca de las poéticas andinas (Petaca of Andean poetics)

        by Elvira Espejo Ayca

        "Kirki Qhañi" is a call to the construction of houses and places from which we can converse and converge while preserving our differences but with common horizons. Just like the chiru chiru bird, which is urged to build at the highest point of the cliff, from where it can have an overview to protect itself from predators—those incapable of building walls of sugar adobe, receiving the grandmothers' songs, creating with heavy stones or light threads, and respecting the dance of Chinchilla.
