Uzendoski, Michael A.
Descripción:
Feast of Flowers tells the story of those Ecuadorian indigenous peoples who work in Ecuador´s massive flower industry and how the flower industry in Ecuador subjects indigenous people to the dynamics of a “postcolonial primitive accumulation” (pgs 12-16). The book is based on over thirty-three months of ethnographic fieldwork working with indigenous peoples of the Cayambe region but the focus of Krupa´s research is the flower plantations that define a new form of post-hacienda capitalism in Ecuador.
