Reviews

“A wonderful tool. This volume offers a wealth of resources from a range of critical perspectives.”—Steven Mailloux, University of California, Irvine

“Nightwatch is an engaging, elegant, and enlightening account of one of the most important rural movements to emerge from Latin America since the 1960s. Orin Starn writes in direct and artfully crafted prose informed at the same time by the most up to date theoretical debates. This book will be of great interest not just to those who care about Peru and Latin America but also to scholars across anthropology, cultural studies, political science, and history.”—Arturo Escobar, author of Encountering Development: The Making and Unmaking of the Third World
