Dissertation. "The Calcha, a Quechua-speaking Andean ethnic group in southern Potosi, Bolivia, weave cloth which they continue to use in their marriages, households, hamlets, and ayllus. They also use handwoven cloth in interactions with urban and rural Bolivians and with foreigners. This dissertation argues that a study of their production and use of cloth is necessary for the understanding of their identity and social organization." (iv).
