  Drawing on the works and words of artisans and artisanas, Indians, and mestizos, the author critiques the national ideology of ethnic homogeneity. He shows how Gueguence tells a story about the passing of time, the absurdity of authority, and the contradictions of coping with inheritances of the past.
