Fighting like a Community: Andean Civil Society in an Era of Indian Uprisings

Fighting like a Community: Andean Civil Society in an Era of Indian Uprisings by Rudi Colloredo-Mansfeld is reviewed. Rather than being a study of 'Andean civil society', this book's historical and ethnographic exploration of the links between community and state makes it a valuable addition to the scholarship on state formation in Latin America. An outstanding work of anthropology and a terrific example of the possibilities of long-term ethnographic fieldwork, this book should be read by political scientists, sociologists and all others who study states, communities and social movements.
