Andean Waterways explores the politics of natural resource use in the Peruvian Andes in the context of climate change and neoliberal expansion.

Commendation Quotes: This timely and engaging book fills an enormous void. We now have a water ethnography that does the subject justice. Commendation Quotes: The Cordillera Blanca, along the higher elevations of the Santa river watershed in Andean Peru, has become the focus of considerable research on climate change and associated policy anxiety for remediation of such change and its adverse impacts. The author situates what is essentially a study of water politics at a regional level within international pressures and their national mediation, in a landscape where water is abundantly present but poorly distributed. Rasmussen takes a landscape of interconnected channels and investigates this topography of flows through a careful ethnography of long-term settlers in their region. Along the way he builds his chapters around each channel and with it a particular issue--community formation, state intervention, water management bureaucracy, conflicts over mining--to show the way water and local livelihood are produced in intimate contests. Biographical Note: Mattias Borg Rasmussen is an anthropologist and post-doctoral researcher in the department of food and resource economics, University of Copenhagen. Marc Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
