Notes

Similarly, Nancy Egan (2010: 13) describes the Chicago fair in 1893 and how Andean people had to dress up as North American Natives in order to be accepted for an exhibition of indigenous people.

‘Aymaridad’ is a nominalization of what Aymara, understood as a culture and political project, is; something like ‘Aymara-ity’ or ‘Aymara-ness’.

Apthapi denominates the sharing of food in a communitarian meal, where everyone contributes food which is shared among all. Jaq’i is the Aymara word for person and is generally interpreted as the achievement of full personhood, which is often linked to the ideas of reciprocity and complementarity.
